Summary
The ‚Lunar Port‘ is a joint project, bringing independent parties from the fields of science, tourism, mining and further economical areas together. The idea is to establish a transportation system between Earth, Moon and later on Mars and other celestial bodies. The project itself is meant to be open - everybody with an interest of getting into space is invited to take part. The final goal is to give all its participants an easy access to space. This can happen with the benefit of sharing technology and hardware in addition

to generating rocket fuel in form of hydrogen directly on the lunar surface.
In the future, there will be several moon bases for different uses. Most likely, the majority of moon exploration will take place around the South Pole.
The idea is to establish a central landing and starting point in the area. People and goods from different institutions could get there, have a short term stay and then move forward to their destination.
