Perhaps a container size/connection standard would be a fun thing to
explore...get some other builders designing with it in mind?

I have pondered the idea of containers in the past and thought that it would be
cool if they were compatible with the moonbase standard for hallways. The idea
being that given the cost of maufacturing shipping the container vs the cost of
transporting the empty back to be re-used would be cost prohibitive and large
numbers would be available for other uses.
The short version is moonbase components that can be shipped by transport and
train.
If the conainers were of the right dimensions they could be used to expand the
moonbase. The conainers would need to have ends the were removable using pins
in the same location as the hallways for the moonbase.
They wouldn’t necessarily be used on every moonbase section but the abundance of
a “free” building material might make them attractive to some builders.
Just some thoughts

Nonsense! Containers would be shipped back to Earth *full* of MoonCheese.
As Wallace made quite clear: “Everyone knows the moon’s made of cheese.”
I suppose I shall have to make a cheese quarry module now. Hmm. Yellow,
orange, or sand green? Three weeks to OurCon at UMass? Help!

If you want ideas, you can look at the Blue Moon Cheese Mine & Shop MOC I made
recently for the Feb. Kid Expo here in Indianapolis... :) Here’s the link to
