The four things that kill you on the Moon

Okay. Mm-hmm.

If you take the romance and this excitement, enthusiasm out, can we just look at it like a system, the system that you are aiming for? And then let's this down together so that everybody is able to digest this and then we are able to highlight couple of questions. How on earth, how on moon he's going to pull this off? By the way, I'm a huge optimist.

Yes. Yeah. you Yeah. Yes.

I don't know with you. I can see all your reasonings and I see the maths and everything. But there are a couple of things like you stop and probably you have those assumptions in your head too. So let's start with the like the big, big, picture. And then I just try to break it down into how you see it. It's such a big question.

Mm-hmm. Ahem. This is great. No, that's yeah, I'll just take it. No, it's great question. Great question. No bad questions. Yeah. ⁓ first, removing all the removing all of the philosophy and all that aside. So just going bare bones. What are we trying to do? We're trying to build a whole town. Okay. Engineering wise, like what does that mean? The whole town is really a habitat on the moon. Okay. Working backwards. What exactly does a habitat on the moon have to have? You know, we've seen lots of different concepts, you know, over decades and then however much longer you would want to count. But a lot of people have thought about this, but the way that we're approaching it is in a very deliberate, like practical, like let's cut out like 99 % of the fluff. And let's just think about whatever the core technology is that we need to de-risk along the pathway so that we can actually realize this vision. Right. I think that's what differentiates serious and non-serious. And so when we're looking at the habitat, okay, what do you need to build a habitat, what you need to solve for. So I grew like, in our opinion, we're going to tackle this with four problems to solve for. The first one is the extreme. Well, sorry. First one is the vacuum of space. And so the lack of pressure on the moon is one of the first things that will kill you the moment you step off and you take off your suit. second thing is the temperature swings. We're hundreds of degrees of Celsius of temperature swings on the moon. So one lunar day is actually 14 Earth days.
