Let's start a discussion on the protohab here. Navigaiter 02:30, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

The tunnel habitat picture is very impressive as visual communication. In an actual Lunar Settlement the air reconditioning and waste recycling will probably occupy considerably more space than the sleeping, eating, and work spaces, just as the out of doors spaces on Earth are larger than the indoors spaces. Much infrastructure will be needed to support each person if colonists are not just living on imported consumables. Although people are likely to be able to live in the air reconditioning space and recycling space and do some work their, they are likely to spend most of their time elsewhere. That elsewhere will be indoor spaces because the radiation environment outdoors on Luna is unhealthy and not suitable for routine colonist presence in a Space suit. The main part of an economically self supporting lunar settlement will be industry and the out of doors portion of that industry will be robotic, reomotely controlled, and/or automatic machinery. - Farred 06:45, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
