Illustrating the frontier
Image Gallery
For years the Moon Society home page carried a “changing image” —
an illustration of some corner of the lunar frontier, with a caption explaining it. Here are all 140
of them: habitats and hostels, lavatube settlements, mass drivers, rovers, and the occasional flight of fancy,
drawn from the pages of MMM and the Artemis Project. Click any image for the full view and its original caption.
