Last Saturday was the BBC's mid-winter transmission to the British antarctic research station (yeah, missed it again, sigh). Whether or not you caught it live, you can catch up with various peoples' recordings of the proceedings at The SWLing Post mid-winter tag here.
Anyway, back to the main point of this post. The Halley VI antarctic station is a tad... unearthly looking. Here's an interesting video covering its workings, along with mentions of several other nations' stations, and some speculation on future lunar outposts. A lot of these ideas would work for college dormitories as well. Interesting, forward-looking stuff that's well worth your 11 minutes. Also, here's the Wikipedia page on Halley VI as well.
All for today. Unless something else remarkable happens.
I probably ought to adapt this design for hurricane season around here. Wind resistant and already up on pilings, there's a lot to build on from this base design. I wonder how much one unfinished fiberglass module would cost?
