- Abstract
The Moon is our closest celestial neighbor. Half a century ago, people made repeated visits there. Current technologies promise to bring cislunar travel to the masses for a fraction of the resources employed during the Apollo era. Private companies have been eyeing lunar tourism and some are making real progress toward providing that service. Some concepts developed in the ASTE527 Graduate Space Concepts Studio within the Department of Astronautical Engineering and the School of Architecture are presented. https://sites.google.com/a/usc.edu/aste527/home/lunarevolution-role-of-the-moon-in-the-future-of-human-space-activity-2015 https://sites.google.com/a/usc.edu/aste527/home/2018-adam
