The FLEXhab space habitat – Moon living on Earth!

I’m standing on the Moon, and something reminds me of home. Although I’m surrounded by darkness, grey dreariness and lots of dust and stones, something keeps bringing my thoughts back to our house in Chiemgau. I don’t see anything that resembles my cosy home, with its greens and blues, so where does this feeling come from?

I listen carefully, and then I hear it – the monotonous humming with loud, slightly metallic sounds. It’s an excavator, and this noise is the link! Although our family has been living in our house for ten years, we’ve only just started building the garage, and currently there’s an excavator digging the foundations.

Of course, I’m not standing on the actual Moon, but in the LUNA hall in Cologne, our Moon analogue research facility. Nevertheless, there are some interesting parallels.
