Although one problem is that a lot (most?) of the structure of a *Lunar* base would be underground: a Mars base might be easier, since I would expect most of it to be on the surface.

Some kinds of radiation, which can be dangerous if you are exposed to them for long periods of time, can only be shielded by large quantities of dense (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.space)
