Great visualization. Here are some thoughts as requested. EVA Deck - Lunar dust was a huge problem on Apollo. It adhered to everything, was very difficult to brush off and the particles and smell over a long period induced coughing and nausea. Need a suit cleaner or a suit lock to keep the dust out of the airlock. The advantage of Starship is potential big bulky payloads. Think that Lunar Starship would have a way to get bulky items into the airlock beyond the personal accommodation door or a separate cargo lock.

I can't wait for more! Please give us more! Thanks for your amazing work! It's truly inspiring.

Smallstars video was more of a history of airlocks this is a actual realistic concept. Amazing work.

This is so beautiful, I can't wait to see what the real design looks like

It will definitely need loos. They seem to be missed a lot in sci-fi. That and a good storage cupboard.

Looks great! Looking forward to your next videos. My 2 cents: - No Stairs. A ladder is fine. - Redundant airlocks - Medbay next to airlock - Spacesuit-airlocks - Modular storage/instruments everywhere

very very nice.....

Awesome! Can't wait for the rest! 👍

Love it! Don't forget the sonic showers

Nice 👍 looking forward to the other sections.

I'm lovin 'it ♥️

Dust Mitigation Apparatus will be crucial to keep dust outside.

That's so cool, man.

New episode please love it

Very well done! Exciting! #goelon

*Did I forget to say how amazing this looks! Great job!* Gives me chills to imagine walking/floating through a real, all new & shiny Starship like this on the way to the Moon! #goelon #gonick

great job

it's amazing, thanks a lot!

You'll have to revisit your design. SpaceX as part of their bid and as part of NASA's own findings, noted that the HLS Starship had dual redundant airlocks--which they noted was a major benefit to NASA's mission profiles and safety considerations.

good work

U rock!

Perhaps some section for getting rid of that awfully abrasive lunar dust could be unless eva suit storage would take care of that?

the design is pretty good but i believe the suits would be before the airlock so it can be safer

My notes, in order as things appear: - The outside lacks the raised “spine” and rail which the elevator uses. You could also look at MADV for this sort of system at different angles. This part is minor to me however. - Why in your overall “skeletal” diagram are there decks below the EVA deck and the ring of engines? It seems to me clear that this space is for tanks, which I think one can derive from the idea that those engines need piping to get their propellant. - Why are there not two air locks, as described by NASA? And why are the suits on the other side of the airlock? From your door design I think you made the assumption that this whole area is pressurized but to repressurize it every EVA would be incredibly wasteful. Far more likely, the suits are behind the airlock. This way the door can be simpler and with some judicious rearranging you can get more floor space. I do hope to see your future videos. I’ve seen many tackling this and no one ever seems to cover all the known facts at the very least. Perhaps you will be the one.

don't know about stairs for the interior - uses up too much room a ladder would make better sense, especially when dealing with zero G environments. the area would need to be big enough to fit a moon buggy

Could all the spacesuits be in the open part of the bay that will be exposed to the lunar surface, with the rear (climb in and out from the back) on the other side of the bulkhead, in the non exposed side. There could be a pressure hatch or cover that comes down to over the rear of the suit entry to seal off that part once the suit disconnects from the access/storage frame. Scrubbers and cleaners built into the Suit 'Locker" to keep contaminants out of the habitable area? Electrostatic cleaning? Cheers?

Show Heavy being caught by its 2 holding balls. And then show Starship also being caught by 2 retractable holding balls just under the front flaps.

Amazing. Now build the common room with the giant windows and special 0g seats and theater. And shouldn't the lift down to the surface be connected to the outside of the ship with rails?

Elon needs to hire you!

Hi Nick, another great video. A few thoughts. There's going to be issues with dust as shown in the design. I know how Apollo did it but the dust is going to be everywhere. Its statically charged so it spreads like crazy and its really bad for the lungs. I'm not sure if thats just quite the design I would go for in terms of practicality. A smaller decompressable space might be better. Definitely with those walk in space suits if they can do it (was that part of your design? it wasn't clear.). Also, there has to be a backup entry system in case the lift breaks. Literally, there has to be a ladder or something in case the lift breaks.

so why are the suits stored in vacuum? how would you get to them? unless the access deck (which, I'm salivating at the prospect of actually having decks in a spacecraft) can be pressurized.

4 legs not enough! Lose/break 1 of 4, you die. Lose/break 1 of 6, you fix or replace it, then go home. Starship needs #Springblade landing legs! #goelon

Video?

Was this a sexual experience for anyone besides myself?
