Apollo 17 - STS 117 - Lunar Base - NSS Space Settlement

What a thrill, sitting here watching Apollo 17 (Extended Collectors
Edition), six dvd set from Spacecraft Films.

Watching live on NASA TV, the activities on the International Space
Station with the STS 117 crew now on board.

Collecting images of Lunar Base ideas from Google images.

And reading NSS working group e-mail discussions about what we might
consider a Space Settlement.
---------------
"For the purpose of this committee, a space settlement is defined as a
place in space where people go live, generally for an indefinite period
of time, and at least some raise their children there."
-----
"Earth is the cradle of Mankind, but one cannot stay in the cradle
forever,"  Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

Just think what it will be like when we watch live action of activities
happening on the Moon by the efforts of people from this Blue Marble.

The wind is blowing and the Saturn V is rolling ever so slowly out to
launch pad LC 39.

The new solar array is stowed in position for installation on the ISS.

Better start thinking about what goes to the Moon to set up a Lunar Base.

And before something bad happens here on Earth, better prepare for an
alternate habitat.
