Elon Musk’s New Starship Moonbase design update…
In 2020, Elon Musk declared that SpaceX’s Starship ‘can serve as part of Moon Base Alpha, with no need to bring early ships back.’ Over a year later, NASA announced Starship as the victor among two other competitors, securing a $2.9 billion contract to construct the Artemis lunar lander.
The November 18 test flight of Elon Musk’s Starship, launched from Boca Chica on the Texas Gulf Coast, signals the impending reality of this mega-rocket. Future iterations hint at its readiness for missions to the Moon.
This progress prompts questions: How might a lunar base assembled from Starships take shape? What could life be like there? This marks an update on the design of the Starship Moonbase!

The nose cone could separate, bringing the crew back to lunar orbit and leave the big living room behind for future use.🎉
My lunar block is off-limits until the deal is signed and delivered!
❤❤❤❤❤
Will believe it when I see it. Let's see starship achieve orbit first
Laying it sideways on the moon would be really hard, almost would have to land then do a sideways burn to put it on it side. Really hard
Throw in a few solar city roofs, power walls and Cybertruck bulldozers and the settlement is a regular Jamestown!
I'm looking forward to a Lunar Pool Party under a dome and wild slow-motion waves. That'd be a blast !!!
Detach the Raptor Engines in lunar orbit and use Draco engines for lunar landing. Use the Draco engines to control a vertical to horizontal landing, OR use a separate strongback to control the transition.
Why stop at reinventing the wheel, repurposed spacecraft has been thought about since the 50's in the industry or even centuries with sci-fiction writers. I mean come on be a bit more advanced with the ideas. These ships will be 9-12m in diameter and you are only thinking round. Why not cut them length ways with a robot cutter and have two half circles with a flat floor prefitted down the centre of the vehicle so you cut between them after landing and unload. Baffles in the tanks can be used to close the openings between the 2 halves when used as fuel tanks to complete the floors. What about making a 3rd stage that detachs and becomes a lifeboat whilst the rest is cut in half like already mentioned but now you can join then in an ever growing line or twin lines or more with connecting versions. Come on guys Jules Verne would be laughing at the extent of imagination in this video..😢😢
I'd suggest a special "Stay-ship" design that lands on its belly on a prepared pad (the retro-rockets would be along the sides). The engines and fuel tanks are designed for easy removal. Separately delivered containers are inserted into the freed-up space (for manufacturing, processing, lab work, or living). Four stay-ships can park nose-on in a star pattern to access a common area created from one of the removed fuel tanks. The others can be used for storage, specialized tasks, or satellite bases.
How fake were is the tang machine that makes an astronauts drink! Or the moon tiolet! Or the cooker to make steak and eggs ! Back when men were men that's how they flew to the moon! Not in some bay space rv!
building a moonbase so close to the surface is asking for desaster.
Even if covered by some meters of regolith is way to little to shield versus meterorites.
Only drilling deep into the moon will make a permanent moon base save.
Well boring company here we come 😂😂.
I guess drilling horizontally from a big moon crater such as the Aitken Basin on the south pole would make a lot of sense.
how to you get it horizontal? also need huge equipment to remove engines, etc.
So parking these mobile homes on a level surface of the moon wont be a problem?
If not then I'll order up my double-wide Starship moonbase home today please.
This all looks great, and it would be nice to see how they propose people do salvage and reconstruction on the Moon. Oh, I also love the Space Engineers vehicles used to illustrate the mining machines. Great game more people should play.
I like how GREAT SPACEX incorporated a photo of a "Space Engineers" (Xbox/PS5/PC) small grid mining ship @8:35
It would seem to be more common sense to keep the rockets upright on the moon. It could save a lot of money, you could live in them, store things in them ,and work and do what you like in them as well as having less cost of putting them on the floor.
In 25 years…
LEGO style. Each launch is unique (or duplicate/redundant) components… eventually send The Boring Company machines to use the bored spoils as cover material, depth as environmental envelopes, habitats, and at 2km deep is geothermal energy (200-400’C). A parallel tunnel for ore processing and manufacturing facilities (environmentally sealed areas and use conventional welding for manufacturing, rails to the surface, construction economy). Start with Starship at the surface, then dig deep. Very much like the American Wild West mining towns — start small/basic/frontier, eventually economies, infrastructure, runways/landing platforms/chopstick towers, and cities. New launchpad with higher payload capacity (smaller gravity well), development of new technologies and manufacturing techniques, then deep space network/communications/observatories (solar-system Starlink, telescopes, etc.). Mars as round 2 (having learned from Moon operations and proximity to Earth/safety).
Space is challenging. A LOT more difficult than we think — yet, conceivable and incrementally so.
Terrible narration. I couldn't make myself listen to the whole thing. 😒
Stop AI narration or write better script
Use the fuel tanks as water tanks and u got ur self a fairy tale 😅😅😅😊
I would also use the starship as CEAC lunar greenhouse.
Really look forward to the colonization of the moon mars and beyond
lol cyber trucks on the moon
There are so many dangers with being on the moon, not only being inhospitable for our survival, it lacks an atmosphere so any meteorites having no resistance will impact the surface at full speed. We take for granted how many meteorites burn up in Earth's atmosphere all the time. So many metric tons of space stuffs rain down on Earth constantly. A simple rock falling from the sky that would pose literally zero threat here would spell extreme devastation to any lunar base, posing a potential deadly threat to many people. I'm not sure how you'd get around such risks besides very detailed damage control protocols or heavily armored bases. It'll be expensive and complex enough to maintain breathable air and food/water production. There is a lot that has to go into making this a long-term sustainable progression of humanity.
this concept just gets worse for every new edition. This one can best be described as WTF are they thinking. This idea, it has to be cheap, has gone to far to just being completely stupid and to many half solution
Suggestion: Attention to actual videos of moon walking and driving indicate that in such Very Low Gravity (VLG) the center of balance will be unlikely to be left to regular unassisted Human Viceral Feedback. Just as scooters (etc.) on Earth render a physically augmented improovement in locomotion, a deliberated Suspended Weight System (regolith baloons with computerized extension on poles) combined with accellerator/gyroscope looping, should be applied (even to more distanced from landing craft decent elevator arms). Limiting continuous falls and direct contact with regolith as dust is a must. Biped suits may be altered to step into another conveyance.
IT TURNS OUT JAPANESE SCIENTISTS HAVE DONE A STUDY ON MOON REGOLITH RETURNED FROM THE MOON AND IT CAN BE CONVERTED INTO HYDROGEN/OXYGEN AND METHANE…. YOU DONT EVEN NEED TO FIND ORE OR WATER.. ITS ALL IN THE MOON DUST.. THAT MEANS THE ENTIRE MOON COULD BE TURNED INTO FUEL.. ITS EVEN EASIER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT…
Did Elon just realise that it makes no sense to return so much mass as starship is from the moon so he came up with the idea that the starship is now a building block for a moon base? But then it’s not re-usable like the original idea? Let’s invent things as we go 😅😅😅
One good project ! How could we use sea water, fuel component?
I wish that our government would invest more money into that instead of war.
