This animation will show many of the technologies that are being developed us build a new home on the Moon.

Made by animation students from Falmouth University, in collaboration with DSEA (http://dsea.uk) . 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 be like.
