KIDS On The Moon : Wk.6: Moon Colony Design

Welcome to the Lunar Colony Construction Center!


Rather than "terraforming" the Moon, we'd like to build a closed-loop life support system probably underground with a farming and lake section above ground, but divided into several smaller sections that could be sealed off in case of the high incidence of meteorite hits. (* However, you can develop your own Moon colony all above ground or any way you wish * PROVIDED that you can justify the safety and cost effectiveness of your plan. (*Remember, several countries have to approve any plan that requires more than 10 billion dollars to build.)

(*Caution: Please factor in the possibility of frequent meteorites, the extreme heat/ cold Moon climate, and necessity for preserving mined oxygen and all waste materials.)


When you finish brainstorming to develop an optimal-yet-affordable living and working habitat, please create a graphic (GIF formatted) and brief explanation and description of your design, and send your explanation/description with the same title as your GIF
separately to us.

We will list all documents on our Immaculate Conception School home page,and we'll make them available to you.
P.S. On your graphic, we ask you to include the artist(s)' name and
school or state/country on your graphics, and the text authors on your
description text document.
