Question 1 of 10
Single answer
Why is burying or berming a lunar habitat in regolith the leading design idea rather than raising a transparent dome?
A
Because a dome would look out of place against the Moon's grey landscape
B
Because a thick layer of local mass is the most reliable protection against radiation, micrometeorites and the temperature swing, and regolith is free and everywhere
C
Because domes are impossible to manufacture with current technology
D
Because burying a habitat is cheaper to light and heat than a dome
