Hi all,
Following my WIN update dev thread I have decided to build a lunar base on the moon, akin to WIN's stylings and scale. I'm still planning on updating WIN with several additions, but I thought I would get discussion going and get some ideas for the lunar base before I start.
I have some rough ideas so far...
Use a huge crater as the defining area for the base.
Have underground, or semi-submerged, buildings in the crater wall/ground that can be taxied into for loading and maintenence.
All the usual greenhouse, solar arrays and etc etc.
But the main important decision is location location location. I am considering one of the poles for it's light and shade potential (water? etc). But also an equatorial location for ease of transfer.
As with WIN, I want it technically feasible, but a little future-tech.
So, again, this is another "what would you want included?" thread.
All your thoughts and input will be grately appreciated, as ever.
