I like it. Looks like the rear hatch conforms to the Classic Space Moonbase Project’s corridor specifications. Is this so?

It is so. I’m waiting to see if a connector will hold is up if it docks without supports underneath. If not, the right height can be achieved by adding this to the landing gear
   
   If so, has anyone thought of creating an extending, articulated corridor, so that spaceships that land can sit still and the corridor can move to, and attach to the ship?

That idea is being attempted by a few folks. I’ve seen a design for an accordian extension, and a telescoping extension. It would be a cool addition to Moonbase.

   I’m thinking of Space 1999 here, where the Eagle land and the corridor extends and attaches to the side of the Eagle. This idea was clearly an extension of how passengers typically board and deplane (are those the right terms) jet aircraft at large airports.

Sounds great! translating it to lego? Another story :-)
