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
