Introduction
Congratulations, Elon, on thinking about creating a permanently occupied moonbase. It’s good to have ambition. Even a base would be a good start. It took a while, but you’re putting things in the right order now. Maybe you will be the first person on Mars, with good engineering thinking like this! It’s possible, that’s a part of humanity’s vision! The “sign“ across time. For YOU to reach Mars! Since the dawn of education and intelligence passing from generation to generation.. this name passes through time!
The Strategic Value of Mars
The Moon: Closer to Home and Heart
Rockets: An Outdated Technology From Generations Ago, not Generations To Be
Valentin @SkillsGapTrain could easily engineer a better system. So can anyone else. Pick an engineer at random from China. They can do it, no problem. Just make a joke or two, and they will do it. There are many ways.

Key Benefits
Overcoming Engineering Challenges
Implementation Steps
Developing the Railgun:
-
Power System: Create a high-capacity capacitor bank or advanced battery system to power the railgun. It will take a while to charge these, but use a SMR (Small Modular Reactor). These are cheap and safe. You need to transfer a lot of power very quickly, and it’s easier to use batteries, with one SMR, than to build three hundred parallel SMR units to power the gun. Gretta Thurnberg would complain if you put three hundred nuclear reactors beside her house (though that would be fun to see). So use batteries that don’t bun for this application.
-
Rail and Barrel Design: Engineer durable rails and a barrel capable of withstanding extreme electrical and thermal stresses.
Designing the Projectiles:
-
Water Capsules: Develop robust capsules to contain water, equipped with heat shields to protect against the heat of launch and atmospheric entry.
-
Guidance Systems: Incorporate fins or gyroscopic systems for stability and onboard thrusters for mid-course corrections and boost to space in case you are lazy to build the required length of railgun.
Launching and Logistics:
-
Site Selection: Choose a strategic location for the railgun installation, considering factors such as energy access and logistical support (and also political stability, wisdom, intelligence, madness of the crowd levels.. woke considerations, choose logical societies.. Ex: Texas and Alberta) You can find these locations, by looking for societies that defend firearms
-
Trajectory Planning: Precisely calculate launch angles and velocities to ensure the projectiles reach their intended orbit and/or lunar destinations (depending on how ambitious you are with your railgun design). Also this re-enforces the vectored thrust concentric thrusters design, to boost shells into orbit in the event of it being required. You might want a space ferry from orbit to the Moon if you opt for a less powerful rail gun that only gets shells into orbit.
Building the Lunar Base:
-
Initial Supplies: Use the railgun to send initial supplies, including water, building materials, 3D printers, and essential equipment.
-
Habitat Construction: Assemble modular habitats and infrastructure, utilizing in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) techniques to use lunar materials.
Sustaining the Base:
-
Resource Management: Establish systems for water recycling, oxygen production, and food cultivation to sustain the crew.
-
Continuous Resupply: Maintain a regular schedule of railgun launches to supply the base with necessary resources and equipment.

Related Design Idea:
@SkillsGapTrain ‘We know you like Mars. But humanity might not know. Why do you like Mars more than the Moon Elon? We have the technology to build the moon to be a great planet. Is it because Mars is larger? Sometimes a neighbour nearby, is better than one across the sea.’
@SkillsGapTrain ‘Might be a good idea for STEM experts and humanity, to collaborate, to use Grok, Gemini Pro and GPT-4/5, to create an “open source design” for a lunar city of 500,000 with Earth-like gravity!
A 5 km radius rotating habitat with 10 levels, a ring like Elysium, (maybe even with inner rings for visual flair), generating 1g (9.8 meters per second squared (m/s²)), via centrifugal force.
Optimized for comfort, with minimal Coriolis effect — residents won’t even notice the spin!
Oh, and also to design a better space material launch vehicle than fossil fuel rockets. Don’t like the rocket method, as it doesn’t scale up effectively and creates low quality habitats at tiny scale in space of only 1 million people max. How about 100 million?
Future goal: a decentralized network of cities (100k in size to 1 million in size, keeping in mind to reduce risk by topping of max city size metric), across the Moon. The cities can be located decentralized locations across the moon and connected P2P style, or can be located in decentralized sets of tubes, with Elysium cities spanning the length of the tubes. #LunarCities #FutureCities #SpaceLiving
Image 1: “A lunar habitat designed as a large, horizontal tube structure with multiple Elysium-like rotating rings embedded along its length.
Each ring acts as a self-contained habitat, spinning within the tube to generate Earth-like gravity.
The tube is robust and seamlessly integrates with the lunar environment, creating a series of interconnected habitats on the Moon.
This emphasizes the scale and futuristic elegance of this innovative design, with the Moon’s landscape and Earth.“
Image 2: “Multiple futuristic lunar habitats, spaced far apart across the Moon’s surface and connected by a high-speed rail system (Bombardier).
This setup creates distinct, separate habitats with vast distances between them, while the high-speed rail system adds a futuristic element, emphasizing the scale and advanced technology of these interconnected structures.
The lunar landscape and Earth in the background complete the scene, showcasing a vision of an interconnected lunar civilization.”

@SkillsGapTrain “If you were on the Moon today, perhaps in a lunar base running out of oxygen and depressurizing, and you found yourself in Elon’s classic car collection hangar, you’d have to choose a vehicle to make it to safety at the other base where there are starships to get back to Earth.
Imagine the options:a Ford, a Toyota, and a Tesla Cybertruck.
It’s no surprise that the scramble would be for the Cybertruck — everyone knows it’s the top choice to get you to the spaceship and back home.
If it’s the best bet for survival on the Moon, it can surely handle the challenges of the 21st century on Earth.
Of course, you’d still want a Toyota Tacoma/Tundra TRD Pro or a Ford F-150 Super Duty gas vehicle around
(with DEFCON Vehicle + EMP Vehicle Protection Kit.. which includes the Battery TRAP, Cigarette TRAP and High Saturation Ferrites), …
…just in case of sequential EMP strikes from China, North Korea and Russia.
But for everything else, the Cybertruck is the ultimate ride.
You never know… maybe with tenacious effort… we will one day achieve the perfect Cybertruck that will not even need gas tech for resiliency purposes or not even the Next Gen Hybrid EV Nat Gas Ultra Lightvehicles(with carbon infused plastics).”
