lunar lander inspired cabin

[mikegarrison]

A naval architect built a small cabin using boat-building techniques but in the form of the Apollo lunar lander.

Very cool! I want to live in a house with this style...except actually on another planet.

They said the lunar lander was just wide enough on the inside for an astronaut to sleep on a hammock with about a 20' tilt.

Apollo lander had a form?!
I thought its shape is a chaotic junk mess with two triangle windows and three legs.

Lunar lander must have a balcony. What if the crew wants to get out to breathe?

I can't see computers there. That's wise: moonmen don't need another HAL9000 incident.

And astronauts had to be under 6' (~180cm?) to even apply for the astronaut program.

It's a bit big compared to the actual lander, but it's still a great idea! The only thing that's missing is a wall full of random switches, buttons, and dials that do absolutely nothing other than making satisfying noises.

Looks and most deffinitly is awesome.

Although i have to say, if it would have less windows slappes around everywhere and if it would be mad smaller it would be a little better.

It doesn't look much like an actual Apollo LM, but some sort of futuristic conceptual lander, why not?

Would it rattle in a breeze ?

Leg alignment seems uncanny.

Well, the lunar lander had four legs for redundancy. A tripod is stable, but only if you know all three legs are going to be in place properly. Not an issue here.

The whole thing is built like a boat's hull, rather than a framed house. So I doubt it will rattle.
