An artists impression of a colony on the moon.

Role Playing Referees Now Needed

  • DARPA funds dispenser. - Fixed annual budget for various applications. You compare the merit of grant requests and allocate as fairly and wisely as possible either arbitrarily or increasingly based upon DARPA's actual public priorities.
  • Venture Capital Fund managers - Review proposals and then invest funds or feedback as you feel best. Perhaps later as more data collects and some automation is possible we can make this into an actual investment opportunity where micromanagers are actually attempting to manage small investments. Might set it up with play money or stock option exchanges, etc. Some further research into coalition licensing is necessary before feasibility can be contemplated.

Public Service Bulletin

There has been some simulated vandal activity (edit wars, personal attacks, faked data citations, misquotes, incorrect hacked engineering software tools, etc.) within these projects and Wikiversity custodians are considering declaring parts of Lunar Boom Town a designated vandal haven until this malicious behavior has been reigned in effectively. Vested interests please share thoughts below:

  • I think Cargo Imports is bordering on problematical in that there are dangerous physical processes being shared prior to adequate preparation of safety recommendations. Mirwin 06:37, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Design Challanges

Help prove to the polished senior professional engineers whose assistance we need occasionally that our engineering students, combat artists, and syneristic hunter/gather scouts are second to no other chaoatic strategic mobocracy anywhere in the world while we play at getting to the moon with enough profits leftover to be influential investers in the Mars Society's pathetic attempt to get to Mars and back alive with the Chinese junk components that the NATO/Nipponese empire embarrasses their "defense forces" with ..... all I can say really is that it was a nice life for me as one of the few priviged Americans never discriminated against while it lasted.

Should the initial automated cargo carrier use methane or LH2 or some other feul mix combination for the delivery crashlander and software stages?

It may be expensive to live on the moon.

What kinds of businesses, factories, and exports would it take to pay for the necessary imports? What kinds of skills would be needed? We need to figure all this stuff out before our boomtown will prosper, whether in a virtual simulation or actually on the moon.

Help us budding business tycoons find out and figure it out by gathering and using appropriately sources of information. Remember to report back creatively to assist the entire community. Use of open/free design methodologies is encouraged to enhance probability of success and shorten development timelines. Primarily, we are interested in living and working on the moon, not licensing technologies for others to do so. Public collaboration and publishing of results is intended to help create future space settlements with dynamic successful economies.

Open entrepreneurial ideas

What business could I/you/they/we startup or run in a Lunar Boom Town?

Potential triggers for lunar boom towns

  • Space Tourism[2]
  • A commitment to extensively explore or settle Mars.[3]
  • A decision to build a space elevator.
  • Global warming: A shift to solar power satellites[4] as part of carbon reduction efforts.
  • Advances in Nuclear Fusion using He3 in Feul Cycle. [5]
  • Asteroid mining[6][7]

This project focuses on business plans, evaluation of business models, technical approaches, and risk factors.

There is a budding business plan course – The Business Plan – that may be a bit too technical for our purposes. Wikibooks has some detailed information (Wikibooks:Writing a Business Plan) on standard business plans. Keep in mind we do not need excessive detail to get started and we can all collaborate on our lunar business models and plans. A business plan is merely a communications tool to help tell others how we plan to conduct our business.

Participants will also find marketing concepts and skills helpful in identifying and analyzing target market segments.

In the meantime we need some icons for one of our local freight company simulators.

The current theme song is by Sharam. We are considering remixing it with some drums to represent discrete large missions abruptly impacting the markets. We use this theme song to represent the complex interplay of businesses and customers in free markets. If you have a better theme song for Lunar Boom Town, please leave a link here or on discussion page so others may evaluate it as a replacement.

Preliminary map

Design activity

Using online lunar data find a prime location for our boomtown. Remember, it should be close to resources and future customers.

Maybe some of our peer teams local designs would be eligible for this NASA design competition or maybe just practice here locally and then go compete globally?

Useful Open/Free Design Tools

  • Dia is free software for creating diagrams. It may be useful for process flow and instrumentation diagrams.
  • Art of Illusion is a free 3D Modeling and Rendering environment incredibly useful for design visualization.
  • Blender is also a 3D Modeling and Rendering environment augmented with exellent import/export data formats involving game development tools and environments.
