Many folks would like to see us back on the Moon and developing its resources.

Google Images - Lunar Base

Happy Holidays and thanks to you all for looking up with me this past year.

I was doing some Google searches on the web for images of Lunar Bases and
Google suggested that if I was looking for images I should try
http://images.google.com/

That option shows up on the main Google page but I hadn't thought about
trying all those other options that are there.
[Web Images Video News Maps more �]
http://www.google.com/

We have come so far with the use of the Internet in the last ten years, and
I sometimes forget and see myself back at Ames before a cable was connected
to my Mac Quadra 950. Once just an island, then a portal into cyber world
using Mosaic.

Having took Google's advice, I used the key words, [lunar base] and got
return result of 2,200 images. Try it. You can then select an image which
will bring up a new page where you can look at the original image and the
web site where it was found.

The very first image I see is one for a Lunar Base Overview - Assembled. It
is at ares.jsc.nasa.gov and one you have probably seen. - LRK -

LUNOX Scenario Concept Images

The following images were produced for NASA by John Frassanito and
Associates based on technical concept studies from NASA's Planetary Missions
and Materials Office, Johnson Space Center.

You can be more selective, like say [lunar base plans] and get a match for
49 images.

One of those on the very top row is one I have seen before. It is on the
inside cover of a four volume set of NASA SP-509 that has been scanned and
was posted first at Ames and Belmont k-12 school.

Having helped scan one of the volumes, I wondered if Google knew that I had
that same picture on my web site, so I used [lunar base Kellogg] in the
Google Images and look what it found.

What I was trying to do was to see what others had done to portray our going
back to the Moon and see whether I might make something like them in a 3D
modeling program.

Thought you might enjoy seeing what others have already done.

Thanks for looking up with me.

Extreme Architectural Engineering:
Construction Automation by Dante N Bini

This web site deals with research and development in the use of automation
in constructing building structures for a variety of purposes. The
applications range from affordable housing, schools and shopping centers,
etc., built in different countries of the world, to conceptual cities'
infrastructures to be built from the sea floor or in deserts. Extra
terrestrial projects where construction automation using applied physics and
robotics are also envisioned and described herein.

This site contains:

1. An introduction to BiniSystems technology
In 1964 Dante N Bini built the first hemispherical thin shell
structure by pneumatically and automatically lifting all the necessary
construction materials, which were distributed horizontally over a pneumatic
form anchored to a circular ring beam, from ground level into an
hemispherical dome. After the initial ground preparation was finished, that
concrete thin shell structure was built in 60 minutes.
a. Construction Automation. This paper details the concepts behind
the Binisystems construction methodology.
http://www.binisystems.com/ca.html

b. A sequence of 70 slides as presented by Dante Bini at Stanford
University in his course on Construction Automation. The sequence starts by
illustrating the pioneering work done by Felix Candela, Hans Isler,
Buckminster Fuller and Frei Otto. Those four Masters inspired the work done
by Dante Bini who applied construction automation in the field of thin shell
and tension structures, and geodesic domes.

the Round Table "The Reversability of Construction", 26 January 2001, in
Firenze, Italy.
