Comments by David Nixon
+ Incremental build-up through a three-phase master plan would fit well with a stretched-out budget that will be inevitable with any lunar base.
+ Interconnected modules shielded by lunar regolith shell is a straightforward solution.
+ Projecting control tower is an innovative addition.
- Earth-Moon transportation trajectories are more complicated than shown and low energy trajectories that use less propellant are applicable for non-crewed payloads.

+ Great connection and link to other projects.
Open Questions: It would be interesting to see more details on the landing pad design. What are the basic requirements of current rocket landing technology?
