Looks like R2D2 on a satellite chassis.
Nice suit.

Grumman has a design already tested. All that needs to be done is to update the flight computer with a bit more memory to eliminate those pesky 1201 alarms on final descent.

First of all the space station needs to be in earth orbit. Use it as the way station to construct the crafts to get to lunar orbit. Then build the second space station. From that station build the lunar base.

Nice video screen. Will astronauts also be forced to watch CNN along with airport travelers?

Grumman has a design already tested. That design presumes a 1960s US industrial base, which no longer exists.
The real problem, here, is that we quit going to the Moon back in 1972. This means we have to start from scratch in many respects. We know it can be done, but we still have to (re)invent things. We should have been flying around the Earth-Moon system, and beyond, all these years, and gradually improving our spacecraft. We should have spacecraft right now, with evolutionary heritage back to Apollo ... but we don't. We have a cradle-to-grave welfare state, instead. That's what the democRATs wanted. Can't have Whitey on the Moon; that's racist.

We’ve had 50 years of “if they can put a man on the Moon, then why can’t they ...” (fill in your favorite pet social welfare project.)

I frequently see things from a different angle ...
Is there something you disagree with? Something you’d like to discuss?

Looks too much like a fire hydrant, moon-doggies will be peeing all over it.
