Here are pages and resources with supporting information (and speculations) for various aspects of a tourism mission to the moon.

Moon Tourism core assumptions [edit section]

• 40 passengers and 4 crew
• using Starship
  • assumes Starship can land on the moon and return, on one fuel load (that's probably wrong)
• many assumptions about crew size, ship activities, and moon activities are derived from a comparison with a 21st century cruise and set of expeditions to Antarctica.

Antarctic Expedition comparison [edit section]

Excursions [edit section]

• special gear for excursions
• waiting for your turn, getting called, for your turn at the airlock or departure room
• crew photographer for journey and excursions
• special rules for where guests can go, and what they can do
  • placement of flags or markers to indicate edge of safe zones

Transit [edit section]

• 3-day transit time (to and from), in sickness-inducing conditions
  • some people staying in cabins or sleeping during crossing, to deal with sickness

Logistics [edit section]

• small number of passengers (40 for moon vs. 80 for Antarctica)
• division into designated groups for dining and excursions
  • shared dining hall

Crew [edit section]

• one crew is a retired former moon scientist (lecturer, historian)

Outline development [edit section]

This section has an outline of events and activities discussed in the story.

This is a work in progress.

Things that happen:

• weightlessness training - using a vomit comet?, a buoyancy pool?
• moon-weight training - using harnesses and a virtual moon simulation environment
• G-force training - spending time in a centrifuge (up to 4G for 3 minutes?)
• muster drill - how to use the safety areas during a solar storm, training and a drill on the ground and on the first day in orbit
