GG Support in 'raw' format

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

= Moon Tourism core assumptions =
 * 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.

== costs =
See [[GG_Costs]]


= Antarctic Expedition comparison =
== Excursions ==
 * 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 ==
 * 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 ==
 * small number of passengers (40 for moon vs. 80 for Antarctica)
 * division into designated groups for dining and excursions
   * shared dining hall

== Crew ==
 * one crew is a retired former moon scientist (lecturer, historian)


= Outline development =
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
