A CASE FOR THE MOON
a Small Lunar Base
by Humanoido
Possible return to the Moon to develop a lunar colony
If I put a small high tech manned base on the Moon there's no need to wait 4+ years for other lunar missions. The project may qualify for NASA government grants. Speed of lunar base completion may be more conducive to health conditions.
The Moon is closer and communications is faster, in addition to physical parameters. The existing SPACE1 craft and technics are space hardened and radiation proofed. Occupy Moon may cost less and take less time to develop. Many of the Moon tools are already completed from previous SPACE1 missions. The landing site and home of the Moon Colony is already established.
Humanoido is a trained and lunar experienced astronaut and can lead the mission expedition. From the relative distance of the Moon, a trip to the Moon or home to the Earth is extremely fast. Weekend tourist Visas could become popular with the public. Other sharing partners could be found from China, Germany, Taiwan, Japan, USA, UK, Philippines, Indonesia, and South Korea.
