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. Hmmm, one way to (...) (24 years ago, 28-Aug-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

At least, when I get enough free time to build my Mars base, it will be either mostly underground, or built (...) (24 years ago, 28-Aug-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

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)

On the Moon, the benefits of minimizing the temperature swings are huge, and the costs of energy should be a lot lower (either boosting up a (...)
