Ever wondered what a return to the Moon could look like if we were to go there soon, and use execting tech? To not only return but to also build our first Lunar Base there?

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 look like.

The concepts shown in this animation were meant to be a representation of the following concepts:
