**The spaceport is nestled within a shallow lunar crater, providing natural shielding from radiation and micrometeoroid impacts. The design embraces the Moon's unique landscape and challenges, using cantilevered forms to create a striking architectural marvel. Structural Elements: Main Terminal Hub: A central hub houses the control center, administration, and passenger facilities. Its cantilevered roof extends outward, providing shade and shielding while offering panoramic views of the lunar surface. Cantilevered Landing Pads: The main feature of the spaceport is a series of cantilevered landing pads that extend through openings in the cantilevered roofs. These pads are designed to accommodate various spacecraft sizes and types, allowing smooth landings and takeoffs. Astronomical Observatory Tower: One cantilevered tower houses an astronomical observatory equipped with powerful telescopes. Its elevated position above the spaceport allows for unobstructed celestial observations. Research and Laboratories: Cantilevered modules house research laboratories and equipment for studying lunar geology, conducting experiments, and analyzing space phenomena. Greenhouse Sphere: A spherical greenhouse structure hangs from a cantilever, enabling controlled agricultural cultivation in a low-gravity environment. It serves as a vital resource for sustainable living and oxygen generation. Materials and Sustainability: The spaceport's structure is primarily composed of lunar regolith reinforced with lightweight, high-strength composites, maximizing local resources and minimizing transportation costs. Solar panels integrated into the cantilevered roofs provide renewable energy for the facility's operations. Thermal insulation and radiation shielding materials ensure habitable [...]** - Image #4 <@1018020892187574313>
