 == Problems and solutions to the wet workshop concept. ==
-The major problem with wet workshop concepts is outfitting the fuel tanks in orbit. However, if the tanks were to be outfitted on the lunar surface it would make it much easier. Due to the fact that the Moon has negligible atmosphere, [[lunar lander|lunar landers]] need rocket engines to slow their decent. The decent stages of lunar landers, or cargo landers would be outfitted on the [[lunar surface]], and covered with [[regolith]]. The overall volume would be much greater then would be needed for accommodation of the residents alone, but the tanks could, for example, be used as [[greenhouse|greenhouses]]. The tanks could also be used to store [[oxygen]] derived from regolith, or be melted down for scrap. Already refined metal and plastics on the surface would be much easier to process then lunar regolith.

-A wet workshop design was considered for the [[Skylab]] space station. A single S-IVB stage from a [[Saturn Ib]] rocket was to be used. However, when surplus [[Saturn IV|Saturn V]] rockets became available after the Moon landings, an S-IVB was outfitted as a space station on the ground, and flown to space atop a Saturn INT-20 (basically a Saturn-V without a third stage.). During the [[space shuttle]] program, the huge external fuel tank was considered to be outfitted as a space station but verious problems and safety enforcements due the the [[Challenger]] disaster made this impossible.
