Mission5
NavigaiterThinking it over, I think the roughest thing to the establishment of an outpost is digging a trench, rolling a partially-inflated hab into it, backfilling the hab in the trench and then covering the hab module with at least three meters of ray-shielding regolith. Need a forklift/backhoe to do that, even in 1/8 gravity. Apollo showed us that doing physical work in a MoonSuit is a non-starter. First, piling boulders against the hab will hasten the fill process but it must be done gently to protect the hab skin. Boy, a backhoe is so heavy that it would need its own MoonTrip to haul it over there.
Mission5 needs 3 parts -- [1] Backhoe Trip [2] Add a trip for the hab and [3] Another one for the crew and supplies and whew, that's big league cash. But it will be done. Hey! Naming rights for the Luna Lodge could be worth 50 billion bucks to somebody who needs a great monument to their insatiable greed. [You reading, Bill Gates?] The first Luna Lodge will definitely be a monument to mankinds insatiable need to exceed.
Revenue Streams
Teleoperations would produce instant income from around the world. This is where various things on and around Luna could be operated by web surfers for a fee transacted with a credit card. The simplest is to control the pan, tilt and zoom of a web-cam on a Lunar Orbiter. [!] Easy Then there is the big ticket thrill; teleoperating a LunarRover! Five Grand per minute? I think so.
