As always, they will be considered being "ritual artifacts", and the module containing them (interesting, which one) as an orbital sanctuary of fertility cult. Because archaeologists don't have the word "unknown", they have only "ritual" and "ceremonial". And as the Soviet/Russian modules visually look obviously different, and rather specific, while the Western/Japan ones look like a set of barns, it will be clear that this Segment was used by the station priests, while the barns were populated by peasants. It's a pity that they don't have a bath, like the Skylab one. It would be obviously an empty sarcophagus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Got it. The factor they missed previous time, is that somebody should be sitting on the eggs to let the chickens form correctly. And in zero-g there is no such thing "sit on". Thanks to the centrifuge, now it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will be an wild west. That artifact belong in an museum, my museum who is part of my theme park on the moon or in orbit. For the Moon, snatching Snoppy and one of the landing stages. Obviously spinning space stations can do stuff like this cheaper and nearer but not at the moon so you need the real stuff to make real.

Not to rant or anything, but I’d say this idea that a Moon base has to be a borderline colony is what has kept us from getting any Moon base for the last 50 years. Just put Salyut or Skylab on legs and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
