16. To establish the basic Stage 1 on the moon 11 launches are necessary:
1 launch : Lunar Orbiter, a small manned spaceship
1 launch: manned Lander and docking module for the orbiter
1 launch: Teleoperated Rocket Crane
6 launches: Lunar Base Modules
1 launch: machinery : teleoperated digger vehicle
1 launch: scientific equipment, lunar rover
The Lunar Base can be enlarged easily, always using the same
Launchers and machinery with current technology.
