Hey all, I had a thought, but first a big congrats to ALL on the Moonbase

great, and continues to bring us together.

It started as Paul Hartzog's Space Station idea, and I believe I was the
first one to suggest we lay the idea down into a base, but I'm not certain.


Ok here's my thought, what if there was a way to take a standarized picture
of each person's Moonbase Module so that all of the pictures could be
arranged as sort of a collage. This way we could see all the modules
together as if they were set up in a huge display!

It may be impossible or impracticle to get everyone accross the contry or
the world for that matter together so we could fit all the modules together.

I think it would be cool to see all the modules fitted together even if it
was by arranging the pictures together so a giant colony can be seen as a whole.


It sounds like a groovy idea.  Should there be a standard size, or should
whoever makes the table (one of the guys over at classic-space.com will
likely take care of that) just have the images resized?  We ought to have a
standard-ish size so that there's not too much pixellation.

A difficulty may come in rotating the individual images so that all the
passages line up.  If some enterprising young programming soul were to write
some sort of program that would allow you to drag 'n' drop and rotate any
image into any orientation so you could make your own moonbase layout, that
would be amazingly cool, but I have serious doubts of the ease of
programming a monstrosity like that.
