Re: Nasa Plans Moonbase





WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 NASA announced plans today for a permanent base on the Moon, to
be started soon after astronauts return there around 2020.


Sounds a bit like Antarctic bases over the local winter. In the sense of having a bunch of people pretty much on their own for long periods of time. And be able to handle medical emergencies and such.
