A rough guide for going back to the Moon
IBM and NASA are working on a project to establish a sustainable presence on the Moon, with a focus on creating a reliable and efficient system for transporting resources and people. The Lunar Foundation Model is a conceptual framework for a self-sustaining lunar city, which includes a reliable source of energy, a reliable source of water, and a reliable source of food. The project is a collaboration between IBM and NASA, with input from the European Space Agency and the private sector. The model aims to create a lunar city that can support a population of 100,000 people, with a reliable source of energy, water, and food, as well as a robust transportation system. The Lunar Foundation Model is not a specific design, but rather a conceptual framework for a sustainable lunar city. It is based on the idea of a modular, decentralized, and self-sustaining system, with a focus on using local resources and minimizing reliance on Earth. The project aims to establish a sustainable presence on the Moon by 2025.
