Now, in a growing/aging moonbase, perhaps eventually a newer technology might
give rise to a wider corridor. The builders would develop adapters to
connect the older modules to the newer ones. It is not likely they would
retrofit the older ones until some time after that. Perhaps this same
in-character concept might be used with the height change issue.
Now, if the setting were not lunar, if it were something further away, then a
newer design concept might be reasonable. Perhaps by the time astronauts
reach Mars, the Marsbase design might be 10 wide connectors. But does that
mean that portal doors are also bigger? Sounds ungainly.

Hendo,
Please be aware that colonization of Mars has begun
(see here)
and the interim alliance of Martian colonists uphold and support the standard 6
wide corridors. I believe the majority of colonists on Mars are willing to make
height adjustments if the Moonbase Module commitee endorses raising the standard
to 10.”
In other words, I support the height adjustment standard, but feel that wider
corridors fall under the catagory of ‘personal artistic liscence’. Which I
support, I just don’t think they need to be standardized. I was in ‘official’
violation with both of my Marsbases due to the lack of 4 stud clearance on all
four sides. I accepted proudly being separated from the Brickfest primary MM
display.
The standards provide a basic structure for us to follow, and create an exciting
interaction of bases at gatherings. These need to be kept as simple and
non-interfering as possible.
