Minimise Torsional Modes of Vibration
Symmetrical Geometry
Extreme/Unconventional Design Actions :
Moonquakes
Frequent and Long-lasting
Serviceability: Inhabitant Comfort
Fatigue/Cyclic Loading
Damping and Vibration Isolation
Pressure Differential
Lower Gravity
Less balance force (i.e. easier to flip over stuff)
Material Considerations/Limitations
ISRU
Raw Material Processing?
Existing Infrastructure Required?
Iron Extraction
Steel
Quick and easy to process?

Lighting
Source
*Not sure - Alex
look into how one would live if there was no light - try to define what lighting means for the project
*
also look into areas on earth that expeirence more than usual lighting, greenland, finland etc.
Water
Source
Lunar surface ice
*Not sure if sustainable long-term
