Actually, I do have a suggestion. Most lunar environments, as scientific
observation has informed us, are somewhat lacking in breathable oxygen. Since
they don’t have an atmosphere to speak of. Thus, I recommend helmets and
airtanks for your pilots, at least while they are outside the cockpit. A neat
little additional detail would be a place to store such equipment while they are
inside.
(I suppose its possible that this ice harvester is for general lunar
environments, not just Earth’s own moon, and other moons may have breathable
atmospheres, depending on size. It’s only a suggestion after all.)
