Title: My house on the moon
Driving question: What would a self-reliant house for astronauts on the moon look like?
Scenario: Astronaut Neil has just returned from a short-lived moon mission that was aimed to explore ways for astronauts to live self-reliantly for an extended period of time on the moon. Unfortunately, Neil and his crew failed. The particular moon house that they had designed and used, did not meet the required standards: within a few days, all water, food, and oxygen had run out. Also, it was extremely cold. This is why the help of students is called for, to help redesign this flawed moon house so that Neil and his astronauts will successfully complete their next moon mission.
