Quote:Architects Fosters and Partners have revealed designs for a building on the Moon that could be constructed from material already on its surface.

An inflatable structure would be transported from Earth, then covered with a shell built by 3D printers.

Would make going down the shops to buy some milk a bit more difficult. Unless we send cows to the moon. MOON-COWS!

Could just skip that bit and 3D print tesco's. Then you can just go in and buy a couple pints of milk and some chocolate cookies.

If you could tinker with the design I'd take a little off the middle.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
