Abstract

An system is described for accelerating funding, design, and construction of permanent colonies on the moon. The first main part involves a system for lifting a large and heavy rocket into the upper atmosphere, then establishing forward flight at a speed of several hundred miles per hour before the rocket engines are ignited and the rocket is released. This system uses a combination of dirigibles and large barge-type aircraft with rotatable wings, to launch payloads into orbit or beyond with more efficience than previously available The second main part comprises unmanned remote-controllable machines that can travel across the surface of the moon, scooping up powdery minerals on the surface and converting those minerals into basic semi-processed building materials, such a sintered bricks, smelted ingots, etc. The building materials will exit the rear of the machine as it travels, and will await the arrival of assembly robots or a manned crew. The third main part of the invention comprises computerized that can enable people to begin realistically considering and addressing the hardware and steps that will be required to colonize the moon or Mars.
