Mind you we're still following Konstantin's original Power Point (Try reading "The Call of the Cosmos" http://www.spaext.com/info/tsiolkovsky/index.html) If only the Americans had listened to O'Neill rather than the Generals in Vietnam... Alas it is probably too late for NASA, America, Space colonisation and thus Humanity. 2030. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/mar/18/perfect-storm-john-beddington-energy-food-climate Shameless Plug: http://brobof.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/apollo-on-cholesterol/ Yes and how many more PPT cycles will there be before NASA finally grinds to a halt through old age!

Everything from the pressurized rovers, to in-situ resources (the many uses of regolith), to the number of crew and the basic design of the outpost. Check out the Lunar Surface Systems Workshop presentations, and my coverage here of them, to see what I mean. This PDF in particular: http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/315828main_LSS_Overview_for_Industry_Culbert.pdf http://luna-ci.com/2009/04/07/lssw-sunflowers-and-the-basic-capabilities-of-nasas-lunar-outpost/ http://www.nasa.gov/exploration/library/lss_systems_concepts_workshop.html Interesting to see just how much of their lunar plans now were already basically groundworked back in 1993...I wonder what other similar programs might give insight to as-yet-unrevealed current NASA plans?
