I intend to upload a picture here.

This charming image does not convey the words included in the original work because of insufficient resolution. On the left edge of the image from top down are the words:"HOT IN", "RADIATOR" and "COLD OUT". Arrows from the words point to features in the picture. On the top are the words: "Sun Rays". In the middle of the image are the words focus point. The image is a cross section of a parabolic ditch on Luna running East and weast at the 13 degree North latitude. The projetion of sun rays into the plane of the image is always tilted about 13 degrees to the right of vertical, ranging from 11.5 to 14.5 degrees from vertical. South is to the right. The radiator is always protected from sunlight, from infra red radiation from the surroundings and from micrometeoroids. The image is not intended to be to scale of an actual device, but merely to communicate the concept.

Senator Amy Klobuchar 1200 Washington Ave. South, Room 250 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415

Dear Senator Amy Klobuchar:

     The Russia/Ukraine war has danger of ending badly.  I am no expert on military strategy but simple analysis of publicly available information suggests problems.  
     The famine in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 is largely understood as carried out by Russians against Ukrainians.  It was part of a colectivization of agriculture effort but regardless of the purpose most of those who died were Ukrainian.  Communists said to communists that they should not worry about the judgement of history because they would write the history books.  They tried to deny guilt for the famine but it did not work.  Requiring children be educated in the Russian language as part of a Russification program only added to the grievances Ukranians held against the Russians.  
     The protests in Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) in Kyiv against government action led by Yanukovych continued on through the "Revolution of Dignity".  Ethnic Ukrainians have great devotion to their cause and the area of ethnic Ukrainian majority was brought under their control with military aid from NATO nations.  Attempting to turn Luhansk People's Republic, Donetsk People's Republic and the Republic of Crimea against Russia is a different matter.  It is irrelevant whether one recognizes the legitimacy of these areas, first as nations then as annexed Russian regions.  The problem is that there is substantial Russian population and the residents of those areas do not have sufficient motivation to put up much fight against a government directed from the Kremlin.  The Russian military is dug in defensively and they know well how to fight a defensive war.  Zelenskyy should not fixedly stick to a goal the restoring of the pre 2014 borders of Ukraine as a single nation against Russia.  It may not happen.  The NATO allies do not share the intense motivation to fight against Russia.  There are limits to the expense that we will endure.  The forces that Ukraine can muster and NATO provided equipment may not win such a fight.  Putin does not think so.  Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian leadership should should have realistic objectives.  Fighting mainly defensively in the area of ethnic Ukrainian majority until a treaty can be made with Russia is a possible general strategy.  
     The fight to cut the land supply route to Crimea seems likely to fail as Russia puts great effort into defense in this area.  Ukraine  should avoid ending up over extended and worn out.  The length of this war could test NATO endurance.  The possibility of Russia defeating Ukraine and preparing to attack NATO countries should be considered.  I do not have information to know whether China has supported or would support Russia in this area.  
     We should consider a negotiated peace when one becomes possible.
