Wouldn't construction of an orbital observatory consist of putting together prefabs? Not to mention, modern construction often does consist of putting together prefabricated pieces so saying we have no experience with construction in zero G only putting together prefabricated components is somewhat contradictory.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoThat depends if that was what the original comment meant. But still, I fail to see how attaching prefabs in 0G is going to be easier than doing it in 1G, or even 0.166G. It's nice to have a well-defined "down" direction and a landmass to brace against. You don't need station keeping and magic trickery to keep angular momentum in check. The main difficulty I'd see with assembling prefabs on the Moon would be landing them.
