Long ago, a mighty rocket was launched. It voyaged through the stars,
exploring strange worlds. But one day while returning to earth, something
went wrong. The great rocket fell to the moon and crashed, lodging itself
in the dusty surface like a massive lawn dart.
Years later, the moonbase grew up around it, yet the rocket remained
untouched. A ruin from long ago.
The Shpleem, trillionaire playboy, grew tired of his constant touring and
traipsing about. He longed for a home in the moonbase to call his own. One
day it came to him. He would claim the ancient rocket and remodel it into
his luxury villa.
The interior of the rocket was removed and filled in with more Shpleem-ish
accomodations. Namely a large TV and chair and a personal monorail
terminal. The Shpleem felt that this new home was worthy. He moved in. He
then declared himself "Moonbase Mayor". (The Shpleem is completely insane)

This is about 90% done but I had to get a sneak peak up.

| (...) Dang, this is just cool. Dang cool. (...) Heh, did I mention that I was talking with Dan P. about our layouts. He bumped up the area for the moonbase project from 40 sq/ft to 80 sq/ft. I just can't wait to see this thing all together. Mark N. (22 years ago, 25-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)

| Ahhh! Well I WAS going to make a moonbase out of a crashed rocket. That is really cool. Looks even better than the one I was imagining to build. -Mike Petrucelli (22 years ago, 26-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)
