I'm John Batchelor and David Livingston and Hymn Ben-Iroyer are here, and we're building a settlement on the moon, moon base.

And we have descriptions of what needs to be done, the engineering that can be done.

If an engineering can solve it, it's done.

And I have not seen a limit yet of American engineers.

If we told them to rebuild the moon so it's fashionable, they'd do it.

However, there is the psychology of being a human being on Earth in one gravity.

And we grew up this way.

We think it's normal.

It's not.

There are other ways to live in the solar system and in the galaxy.

We haven't found one yet, but we presume it's there.

You adjust to one gravity over time.

There's not going to be time to adjust to one-sixth gravity on the moon.

That would be easy.

You could hop around the way the astronauts did.

But apparently, the report here is the expectation of psychological stress.

What does it look like, Haim?

So there's a lot of stress, both psychological and physiological.

On the psychological level, there are the issues of living in very confined quarters.

You know, basically, initially, maybe 10 square feet per person.

The initial habitats may have two or three people in them, and the volume in which they live

may be no larger than a single room, a small room.
