Welcome to .space Jake! And, way to join in with a splash(1)!
Snip, but I must say that I’m impressed by the research and links you’ve
included. Your post is, in itself, an excellent introduction to .space.

Behold... space based intermodal! Using standardized containers, the
warehouse module stores the containers. Soon to be built ships move the
containers between worlds. And soon to be built space trains move the
containers around the moonbase.

Soon to be built? No wonder my space shipment has been held up. They keep
blaming some guy named Tibor every time I call them to track the package. Ah
well, at least I know it’s not lost in space.
But seriously, that’s a couple of great designs with a fine attention to detail.
I have to go look some more when I get the chance. I really like the
surveillance cams, though they do look a little
sheepish. ;-)

I have to say that due to time and so much amazing prior art, I was heavily
influenced by the other terrific space builders. There’s probably not enough
database space on LUGNET to mention all those that I drew inspiration from.
Instead, I’ll say thanks to those of you who might see your design elements
in these creations!

I think that much of the fun here occurs when people re-use, re-purpose and
re-interpret the designs of others. I really enjoy the mutual influence that
happens here. And now you’re part of it. I may have to build some containers of
my own. As for standards, I think that a couple of different (competing?)
standards would spice things up a bit...
Peace and shipping,
Professor Whateverly
(1) To make a real splash, however, you’d have to go to
Neptune’s Moon Lagoon
