(N.Morgan) In the 1960's, the Space Program was still in its infancy and a 400 page, two document report thoroughly justified the scientific, political, and military need for a special moon base, as part of the space agenda. The 2 documents calculated out the details of what could be done on the outpost and what it would take to make it reality. It offered graphs and mathematical formulas; considerations for low gravity and magnetic field, lack of water and air, and ballistic dynamics on the moon’s surface; and design drawings of spacecraft, lunar bulldozers, modular moon cabins and special space suits. It contained photos of the moon with desirable spots for a colony mapped out on them.
