I think the most efficient construction on the moon would be inflated structures constructed underground in the mooncaves.
Let the caves block the radiation and just focus on the thermal insulation and the air pressure integrity.
This means it would be possible to build large volume spaces, like sporting arenas.
And that’s the segue I need to share a deck promoting “Moonball.”
“A Modest Thesis on Moonball:
Billions of people will want to watch professional athletes playing sports on the moon. A successful event or sports franchise could fund economically sustainable human habitation by 2035.”
I would love any feedback on this totally modest proposal:

- pablo24602 4y agoI am convinced by your thesis. I'd add more details on the potential revenues garned by such an event, however- and how it'd compare to the cost to construct such a sporting arena. For example, FIFA is supposedly raking in 4.7B in revenue for the World Cup this year.
- Hoasi 4y agoThe plea for sports on the moon we didn't know we needed. It's a good departure from some of the usual ideas around Moon bases. Create a mainstream event around moon sports, fun and absurd enough to catch billions of eyeballs and drive revenue for future exploitation of the whole satellite. Brilliant.
