N.A.S.A. Should Start Sending Parts to Future Moon Base-Climber's Hut


Like any frontier venture (or climbing very tall mountains) it can be useful to cache supplies at distant places. N.A.S.A. could view the moon base as a climber’s hut to start with and send building modules, tools and supplies up on cheap as possible rockets now and then.

Over time the more supplies one has to work with the greater are the options and support for a variety of activities. Even the ISS could become a parts warehouse for a moon base.

Instead of sending old satellites to burn up in the Earth atmosphere there should be a way to send the metal to the moon base. Even good engineers need parts to innovate things.


N.A.S.A. should really get started even in a small way instead of waiting for the grand design to emerge during the middle of the next administration. N.A.S.A. moon base efforts to help reinforce private lunar efforts and catalyze progress.
