= 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.

= 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
