I kinda like the idea of the more realistic version being the one they use on the surface because those suits are better suited for constant radiation such from the vacuum of space, while the classic suits are moreso an "inside" suit that's looser and more maneuverable for low gravity underground moon life

The _Apollo_ space suits weren't designed to protect astronauts from radiation. Maybe the future versions could have some sort of electromagnetic shield (which would also help with the dust), or polythene panels, but until then, the only option is to limit durations of EVA's.

Looks great! I agree the more realistic astronaut looks better. But it is so hard not to want to use the classic spaceman.

I personal think it would be better to use the more realistic astronauts, however, I also think it would be an interesting idea if in the corner there was a second smaller (1 or 2 buildings) moonbase built in the style of the classic spacemen.

The modern/realistic spacionaut is indeed better with the look of the current MOC, maybe using the classic lego space torsos as some sort of Star Trek-ish uniform for the spacionauts in the pressurised underground base. I would suggest a cut of the underground base in the front of the table, and also to build a moon rover for the spacionauts (with visible tracks or something). Edit: Just a suggestion, classic space minifigs are expensive as hell. If you don't have already a load tons of it, maybe use the futuron minifigs: they are quite similar and a lot more cheaper.

The sets these new realistic astronauts come in also have bright blue jumpsuits for the people within the base. They look much better for that purpose, and also have a little space logo on them

This video is almost as expensive as the moonlandings themselves. All jokes aside i absolutely love the moon project so far it looks stunning. Perhaps it would be interesting for some colour contrast in the terrain to have some of the moons "rust"

What I like about the old astronauts is the storytelling since each color suit represents a different job, blue is mechanic, yellow is scientist, red/white are pilots/crew, black are spies etc.

I think the more realistic astronaut helmet really make the EVA scenes look better. I would suggest maybe playing with the colors of the suits tho, similar to how Star Trek has different colors for different roles. This could also be related to the “jump suits” that the figs wear inside the base, which could be the classic space lego suits

When you were explaining the plans for “uncovering the secrets of the universe” on the surface, it reminded me of the moon obelisk in 2001: A Space Odyssey

excellent! two ideas: 1) build a small forced perspective backing to the layout so the sky looks more spacelike/distant, and 2) use the classic minifigs as if those are their inside the base jumpsuits, so don't have them wear helmets etc.

I feel like a combination of both minifigs would be so cool. The more modern space suits for when the astronauts are actually on the moon surface and then the old school ones ( maybe minus the helmet) for when they're in the moon base. The colourful outfits would kinda be like the star trek outfits, maybe different colour showing rank

I think the helmets are too iconic to not include personally. Besides, interactions between the different types could be quite creative. For example, two astronauts pointing at each other like that one Spider-Man meme

I vote for the more realistic astronauts! The moon looks great man!

Nice job on the moon. I wish LEGO put this much effort into space sets

For some great ideas about moon bases, watch some of the moon scenes in 2001 a space odyssey

Loved to see you want to go for a semi-realistic build. I always love to see realistic spaceflight come up from non-space youtubers.

If you go with the modern style astronauts, I really think it'd be nice to have the chromed visors over the metallic gold, (pricing aside) it'd be a nice little eye-catching detail I think, to have those little reflective visors dotted around the moon surface.

Moon base is looking fire!!!!!

This is amazing. It reminded me of PBS group when they did segments on model city fairs during the kid blocks.

Obviously based in my profile it’s hard to go against the classic Space but I think the realistic ones would be cool for this build, especially with the sense of realism you are bringing to it

absolutely lovely, i think the artemis fits in the ages style of all of the episodes

One idea for this base/landscape is to add a structure which forms the exit of a "Space Gun", that has been dug down into the surface. A Space Gun is essentially an alternative of a Space Elevator, a method of cheaply launching material into orbit. It's a long shaft of an electro-magnetic rail, for example propelled by batteries charged by solar power. The Space Gun accelerates and shoots cargo capsules far up above the surface, after which the capsules use small rocket engines to place the cargo into orbit, which drastically reduces cost of putting material into orbit. With a Space Gun, you could perhaps run with a "story" that your moon base is an industrial mining colony which constructs components and launches them for construction of large space structures, like big mining ships for mining the asteroid belt, or for putting together large space stations up in orbit. :)

Not sure how developed you want the base to appear, but a monorail to add the train aspect of your other builds into this one would be super cool

the old ones always reminded me of pajamas- them being indoor suits would make a lot of sense then :)

I like the idea you had. All business on the surface of the moon. Colorful in the base. Could even be representative of different countries.

Amazing project ! LEGO Classic Space is alive!

You should lower part of the wood and do a huge crate! That would look super cool!

This looks like those big Worlds in Lego games that you dream of having in your hands

It’s looking really polished. Being 10 when the first original classic space sets came out I’m kinda partial to the colorful astronauts. But, I can see your point with the realism of the newer generation of mini figs. Build on!

maybe the nostalgic astronauts can be the indoor clothing, like a uniform. You don't even have to wear the helmets or jet packs .

A mixture of both minis would be perfect. The modern ones could be the surface maintenance crew as their gear is more suited for prolonged exposure, and the classic minis could be the lander pilots and base crew as their gear is less bulky and allows for better movement when working in the base.

Dang great detail, if we ever get back those earlier 2000s Lego commercial back, I'd like to see a Space theme w/ that surface background, agree?

I still really like the idea of mixing and matching different astronaut types, so I'm super in favor of the idea of having realist EVA suits above ground and the more classic guys underground.

I agree you should consider keeping the old style spacesuits for the underground base (assumed to be pressurized, breathable). Mini-figs "indoors" could have hair or hats designating their job (engineer, etc.), in addition to uniform color. The retro suits in-universe would be like a standard issue outfit for the moon expedition crew.

It’s more then likely that the Dynetics lander system will be picked if starship is not ready in time and that lander is fairly interesting as it’s a wide lander vs the massively tall starship or the still tall but not as tall blue origin proposal. It’s a cool design and I would love to see a version of it in Lego. If not, you could go back to the constellation program and use the Altair lunar lander instead as that fits the pad you use already.

the universe explorer space ship would be sick with the classic mini figs runnin around

What fun the lander will be. If you want to make it highly realistic, it should look closer to the LEM than the Starship, as shuttling between the surface and the lunar station requires no aerodynamics. Unlike the LEM, it wouldn't have 2 stages, and could be much more top-heavy (landing on a level platform). The engine bell should be extra wide to avoid damage to the platform. Weight would be at an absolute premium to minimize fuel spent, so there realistically would be small or no windows. Assuming the program is using ice on the surface to manufacture hydrogen as fuel, the fuel tank will need to be proportionally much bigger than the LEM tanks. Good luck! Excited to see the lander however it turns out.

I just finished my german class and this came out and made me happy :)

I personally prefer the classic spacemen, I think they just make it feel a lot more like Lego in the best way and I think that fits the aesthetic of this base and the other layouts you have by giving it a nostalgic feel

Love your idea of using the old guys in the interior. It could be like there uniform clothes instead of a spacesuit I think it works as that especially if you just swap the helmet for a hair piece.

I was looking forward to the moon! This made my day!

I know you're doing lots of updates on your projects but would love to see more of this.

It might be more costly, but I think the chrome gold astronauts helmets from the early 2000s are the best looking astronauts Lego has ever made. I recommend getting a couple to see for yourself. They look much nicer over that chrome blue Life on Mars figure you showed here.

You know what this MOC needs? Moon mountains in the background, and a little bright earth in the sky.

The design on the pad looks really nice

I think you should have the realistic astronauts for the majority of the base and then have a few classic lego astronauts hidden throughout as easter eggs. Maybe 3 or so in the primary colors (red, yellow, blue) You could even include Benny :)

With older large craters usually you have a rise in the middle of the crater from the exterior falling in so maybe adding that would be nice? Just a thought, love the moon base so far!

Awesome ! I agree concerning the astronauts. Concerning the size of the rocket: don't forget that the gravity of the moon is not as strong as the Earth'one. In that way, if you want to have more "futuristic" stuffs, you can think about a smaller and shorter version of the SLS lauch-rocket. Moon gateway is more realistic, but your base is very futuristic. So you can have some imagination ;) .

Maybe you could use the new astronauts as the main mini-figures and hide the old ones around as details or secrets? maybe even put an old one in some futuristic stasis tube chamber in the background or something.

I think making a scaled down starship would be super cool!!!

I love the idea of using the more modern astronauts for the lunar surface and then the classic space guys for the interior base. I think that's a great way to blend them!

In regards to the future main base, having it in an old lava tube is realistic(since the moon is geologically dead no lava flows so all the moon’s lava tubes are empty), since the moon has lots of them deep enough to act as natural protection from solar radiation, just need to build an airlock system/seal up all the entrances into the lava tube, and if the surrounding rock is dense enough the tube could even be pressurised and have breathable air inside as long as it’s sealed properly. This is also how we could go about colonising the moon in the early years too in real life. Also I think a mixture of astronauts is good, the classic ones only staying in the base while the modern ones are out and about.

Looks fantastic

I like the more modern astroneers as a whole. I would also add one or two older astroneer as a cheeky giggle.

I actually learned something about space travel from a lego video. Amazing!

Do what you think is best dude, but I'd love you to use the old nostalgic spacemen for this build. They have so much charm.

The way this guy builds at such a large scale is insane. These videos are so cool and extremely satisfying

Modern for the surface, classic for inside the base. Maybe from the minifigures' perspective the classic suit is more of an inner bodysuit they wear under the full astronaut gear, with the helmet and tank being there in case of emergencies? That or you can take the tank off and say the helmet is just a balaclava. Maybe there could be a classic spaceman/woman taking off their helmet so their hair becomes visible, or that just has their helmet off. Also, I think a little nod to Moonbase Alpha - the game published by NASA - and the silly things people say in it could be fun. Maybe a rover could have a license plate that says AEIOU... Though that'd be a really wide license plate and the letter tiles are probably pricy.

Classic spaceman would be ideal for interiors of the base, remove helmet, give them some hair, remove tank, and they'll look like star trek crew. It would also suggest that spacesuit figures wear it underneath their spacesuits.

nostalgic ones bring more colour to otherwise just grey scenario

YESSSSSS! IT IS OUUUUTTTT 🎉 great job! This looks amazing! The moon base is really coming together! 👍 😊🎉

This is so cool! Since it still isn't fully decided what the lunar lander will look like in real life, you definitely have room to come up with whatever you think it will look like. Maybe some kind of mix between star ship looking and something else.

I really like the classic space look. I think if the moon base was based off of that it would look so cool! I could also just see the new galaxy explorer looking so good on that landing pad! Maybe then you could modernize other space sets?

You could have the old minifigures serve as the jumpsuits or uniforms the astronauts wear outside of their space suits. Like when they are walking around in the pressurized moon base.

Absolutely crazy detail.

i love the idea of having a starship lunar lander but if you don’t think that’s theistic for what you want you clearly the expert

Ok, next thing to add is hab units and also same greenhouse or telescope to watch stars from the moon. This is really cool looking. Waiting for another part soon

An idea for the black curtain Use an old toothbrush and some white paint, put a tiny bit of paint on the toothbrush, and flick the bristles towards the curtain and that'll make it look like stars in the far distance

Looks amazing! Much mor work than I would have anticipated.

It looks so satisfying to touch.

yeah space! i love seeing the moon base grow

I mean, the classic ones could sort of function like the different colours in Star Trek. Blue science/hospital, red security and machinery, yellow command. Then you have the red suits instead of red shirts

Looks so cool

I would use the classic space mini figs inside the base but maybe give them flesh toned heads and hands... great content as always 👍👍

i wouldn't mind seeing some darker grey mixed throughout the surface, instead of only in the craters. Still very impressive

I would love to see this built out to a sphere. Would be really cool

I think you should go with the more realistic one because I think it would fit in better than the original spaceman. I like the other one with the chrome blue visor, it looks so cool but you should go with the realistic one. Great video and I like your ideas for the future, love the content keep it up 👍 😁

Fantastic. Looking forward to see the future expansions

when you mentioned Starship, i smiled(:

I think doing an underground moon-moc is a great idea!

Looks amazing 🤩. We’re over the moon about it!!! I like the moon base 🚀 🌙

looking forward to more updates on the moonbase! I'm anxious to see what you do with the minifigures

Oooh, I really like the landing pad design you decided on!

I feel like a good compromise would to use the realistic astronauts for most of the build(which would go with your realistic style), but have a small area with classic space builds. They’ll be neighbors!

My favorite is the simple nostalgic Lego mini figure

So cool!

Love your channel bro keep up the grate work and the great videos ❤

I think having inspiration from the Human Landing System concepts and the lunar Starship could be a good idea.

Maybe use the classic spaceman suit (torso and legs) as a sort of uniform for the underground minifigs, which would also be a kind of nod to star trek, with red, yellow, and blue minifig uniforms.

Classic space all the way!

Honestly I think if the landing pad was in a trench or craters it would be great. If a starship was to take off the fuel tanks would be destroyed but if there was angles to direct the blast upwards that would be more realistic and could add more depth to the terrain
