| | | | | (...) Sweeet! I am pleasantly amazed by your choice of building it as a round structure. That really would look great as part of any Moonbase skyline, to have such a variety of shape. ...And might I add that you build BIG too. Great job! -Hendo (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)

This elevator probably is a gravity lift type, as there's nowhere in the roof to put the pulleys necessary for a typical elevator cable style. But I think the typically space tourist (...)

| | | | | Ho. Lee. Cow. This is huge Adrian. This would just be the bomb placed in the middle of a module community, perhaps with a monorail station adjacent. The details are so rich.
