50+ years of lunar penetration tests point to more than density. Probe geometry, fabric, particle sizes, coarse fragments & stress history matter. Thought-provoking read by Roberto Moraes: https://t.co/tNMp9q1ucs

@NASAAdmin More pixels, and so far no intrusive, serious investigations for infra. NASA seems deeply rooted in scientific objectives. How are they going to convert all this scientific data into realistic design parameters necessary for construction? @NASAMoonBase
Would a contractor sign a lunar construction contract? π Roberto Moraes asks tough questions about risk, uncertain ground models, and remote operations. Read more: https://t.co/pFclfYF0cl

How do you turn lunar concepts into buildable infrastructure? The new article covers planning, design constraints, construction conditions, verification, and asset management. Read: https://t.co/3rlmJ9fUSu

The Moon Builders is already a success. It was written to motivate the next generation to see the Moon not only as a site of exploration but also of construction. To Develop. Design. Improve. Build. Second edition coming this winter. @NASAMoonBase
@NASAAdmin@NASAMoonBase It is confusing keep talking about a Moon Base without talking about construction. Will the Moon Base a few of cylinders to be used for science purposes?
@NASAAdmin Future lunar infra will ultimately be governed by engineering parameters, not exploration datasets. How is the @NASAMoonBase team characterizing it for construction?
@NASAAdmin@POTUS Lunar exploration, or Construction-oriented focused planning? It seems that NASA is still rooted in exploration while talking about building structures and the US Moon base. It is a bit confusing. @NASAAdmin@NASAMoonBase
The next breakthrough on the Moon may not be a rover. It may be the first mission designed to answer a simple construction question: How does the ground actually behave? @NASAAdmin@NASAMoonBase#Artemis#MoonBase#SpaceGeotech
