(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.)

I was wondering how long it would take before someone commented on that :-)

My thought was that inside the cabin, the harvester would provide the oxygen. Outside, the operators would need an environmental suit. The photos with the operators outside the harvester were taken inside the assembly facility... Yeah, that’s it...
