is that we should try to make the container standard conform to the MB airlock

could be used as a "poor man's" moonbase expansion, or interface.

This is what I meant.  I added another post I talked about one way you could use
these modules (similar to how MPLM's are used on NASA's space shuttle and ISS).
Here's the article:  http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=32305

To muddy the waters further, an 8 x 8 container would work as a wonderful
transition point between a standard MB module and a non-standard 32 x 32 module.
They might allow for an even more organic growth potential than the current MB
standard allows.

Someone else (I think Jake) suggested full length modules and half modules.  An
8x8 module is half of an 8x16.  Six 8x8 modules runs the length of a 48x48
Moonbase module.  In combination with 8x16 modules, this would allow for some
interesting constructions.
