It's been 50 years since mankind first went to the Moon. Now, we are preparing to return once again, not for a short stay but to permanently settle the moon.

This effort will require NASA and commercial companies, working together to finally build a base on the Moon and leap onwards to Mars and beyond.

But what could a such a mission look like?

What sort of execting tech could be used to build our first Lunar Base there?

This animation aims to demonstrate the various technologies that could be used for returning mankind to the Moon.

This animation contains footage made by the following British based animation universities, Falmouth University, Edinburgh College of Art and Glasgow Caledonian University,

A special thanks to every student and advisor who helped out with this project.

This animation shows an overview of what a base build inside of Shackleton Crater could look like. The concepts shown in this animation were meant to be a representation of the following concepts:

NASA, SpaceX, and various space agencies have talked about returning to the Moon, and establishing a Settlement there. But what could a such a mission look like?
What sort of execting tech could be used to build our first Lunar Base there? This animation aims to demonstrate the various technologies that could be used for returning mankind to the Moon.

Made by animation students from Falmouth University, in collaboration with DSEA (http://dsea.uk & https://www.facebook.com/DSEAgroup/ ) . This animation aims to show you how we can return to the Moon for good.

This animation shows an overview of what a base build inside of Shackleton Crater could look like.

Could a Space Elevator be built on the Moon? What could such a project look like?
This video aims to demonstrate how a Lunar Space Elevator could be deployed and operated on the Moon.

This is a tweaked version of the collaborative animation between LiftPort and animation students from Glasgow Caledonian University who worked together to visualize this concept.
The soundtrack to this Space Elevator animation was provided by Stellardrone.

Our Duckling first bath. The Ducklings (Called Happy, and Cosmo) taking their first bath... and raiding the cat's food.
They were a bit on the crazy side but were wonderful pets. They also got on well with the Cats.

The final version of the Edinburgh College of Art take on NASA's Transformer's concept as it explores the depths of Shackleton Crater on the Moon.
The animation demonstrates several concepts that could be used to building the foundations for a Lunar Base and returning Humanity to the Moon...

Animation and Audio were completed by students by students from Edinburgh College of Art. (https://www.eca.ed.ac.uk/).
