Brauchen wir eine Mondbauordnung, um Mondbasen sicher zu bauen?

From the article

Here on Earth, centuries of accumulated engineering knowhow, hard-learned lessons, and societal evolution have shaped a robust framework of building standards that govern how we build and maintain buildings today.

But now, as humanity prepares to put in place a [„sustained presence“ on the moon](https://www.space.com/astronomy/moon/artemis-moon-base-will-cover-hundreds-of-square-miles-with-hopping-drones-and-new-lunar-rovers-nasa-says), how do we guarantee the safety and integrity of structures built in an environment for which no such tradition exists?

At the 26th Space Resources Roundtable held June 2-5 on the campus of the Colorado School of Mines, one expert says what’s needed is a lunar building code, the development of specific design criteria for [the moon](https://www.space.com/55-earths-moon-formation-composition-and-orbit.html).

This is a pretty obvious answer: yes.

Engineers have created unique building codes for every climate/elevation/topography combination on this planet.

Of course engineering is going to form codes around building in a place with completely different physics than earth. No brainer

This is an interesting conversation because we’re kind of at the crossroads of „*slap a tin can on a bomb*“ and a „*spared no expense*“ perspective on space. The shuttles were a nice halfway point, but the ISS is still a soup can basically. I’m excited to see how the first permanent structures on ground will turn out when they finally get built.
