They need to send robots, 3-d Printers and smelters to the moon first....

Remotely build the base, THEN send the people....

It’s a Falcon 9 5m fairing.

Interesting. Would work with F-Heavy, have to look at escape capability for F9. Pretty light payload, maybe.

Cheap in either case.

Only one thing missing from the design - reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. Descent module stays on the moon, ascent module has no heat shield. I assume they intend to dock with ISS or some other vehicle with reentry capability.

Unless somebody does something, you expect to see a lot of Apollo mission relics showing up on eBay and Craig’s List.
