Liabrarian’s Note: See also this article from February. Images from NASA (ILC Hab) and Bigelow Aerospace (Genesis I). I do like the inflatable airlock.

Librarian’s Note: Dr. Tyson is a phenomenal speaker, and a compelling writer. Parade magazines go out with millions of Sunday newspapers across the nation. The online text has a few of the usual “spend space money on my wants instead” comments. Please go leave one in support of all of our nation’s efforts - commercial, DoD, and NASA.

Librarian’s Note: Jon started the Selenian Boondocks blog after the demise of the Return to the Moon/Space Arena Board, where we both used to post all kinds of Moon commentary. He invited your friendly Librarian to guest blog there, which I continue to do. (I’m currently working a literature review on regolith issues for an upcoming post) Jon was named the 2006 Moon Maverick for the Best of the Moon 2006 and got a copy of the 2nd edition of the Lunar Base Handbook. This article is a post he prepared for the 14th Carnival of Space.

“Lunar Base”

Librarian’s Note: I purchased this painting as soon as I saw it at the ISDC Art Show. I just realized that I could drop it on my scanner for a reasonable reproduction. At some point I will get a professional digital image for the Library (and the artist, who finished the painting right before the conference and forgot to get a copy)
