What do they have in mind? We have seen some rover proposals. How about the habit? We need a place to live remember -- unless you want to shoehorn yourselves back into the lander every night.
I find it amusing that the article says the structure can withstand 100 mph winds. No winds to worry about on the Moon. Mars maybe.RS_Russell":8dyxfuw4 said:This is about a year old but here is some iformation that ILC Dover did on a prototype Lunar habitat. It was field tested in Antarctica. This is sort of a new/old design. You might say some of the inflatable quonset designs go back to Heinlein's fiction. Some designs and sketches I saw about 15 years ago had inflatable huts in a trench. Supports are then put over the hut and regolith is shovelled or bulldozed for extra radiation protection.willpittenger":8dyxfuw4 said:What do they have in mind? We have seen some rover proposals.
