Would the moon doom a particle accelerator attached to the ISS?
The International Space Station(ISS) is by far the most expensive man-made object money can buy and yet we cast it into space, set in near future government threatens to pull out funding for ISS and give it to high energy particle research instead due to recent (re)discoveries at LHC(Europe) in the past couple of years. To save ISS the science community decided to conduct particle collision in space with the help of ISS, we will attach several modules in series spanning approximately 1 kilometer long to house a linear particle accelerator. Since it will become the longest man-made object ever put into space I'm actually more concern about the effect of tidal force during a moon flyby, or am I paranoid?
