i disagree it can be done and cheaplyAll a bit fanciful. So there's a hole in the ground, still be a few thousand tons+of building material and tens of thousands of man hours to put together anything that would resemble a habitable building up there. First things needed up there will be a Travel lodge and a Travis Perkins
Bob
for the base these
for the cover an expanding garage frame will do twin walled as its within a cave so protected from metor showers
now these can be sealed its the cold that has to be beaten
I'm not sure I fancy my chances living in a tent on the moon, even if it is in a big hole.
It was bad enough living and working out of a tent in the desert for months at a time, and there was oxygen, gravity, and most of the other things required for life there (apparently).

I may not have seen it. I might be thinking of some other "soap" series thing??
Lemme see if I can nab it off the web...
<edit> the book though is literally about a militarised society so if the film is about that, it's not really being very allegorical surely??
Well you'll be terrified to learn nasa is trying an inflatable bouncy castle

The film is less pointed, the books narration delivers a lot of the point direct whereas the film is more ambiguous

Would prefer a share of a MARS bar.
I remain a sceptic on us squashy organic air-breathers ever getting (or having got to) the moon tbh.
The intense radiation & all the other challenges of transporting people & materials 250k miles intact & alive to the moon (let alone a big lump like the Lunar Rover half-a-century hence) make it all a rather unlikely & illogical thing to believe in.
(That there is a 100m deep cave there though is intriguing as to just how it was formed).

- on average about 200 miles from the ISS.
The real question is.
Is the Moon flat ? Just like Planet Earth .

Yep. It's a disc. Really it's just an oversized beer mat.
