Doug\u2019s presentation will focus on two aspects,\u00a0<b>The Space Fair<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<b>Instabase.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><b>The Space Fair<\/b> is made from the exhibits which were displayed at ISDC 2023 in Frisco, Texas and which filled a conference room, much to the delight and enjoyment of the attendees. The Space Fair is divided into 15 categories and Doug will review the sections as they provide an interesting summary of the plan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Following that introduction to the plan, Doug will explore their proposed concept for the\u00a0<b>Initial Permanent Bases<\/b>\u00a0on the moon and Mars.\u00a0This\u00a0<b>Instabase<\/b>\u00a0would be designed to house the very historic,\u00a0<b>Initial Permanent Crew<\/b>\u00a0of eight.\u00a0Doug will explain why they \u00a0believe that inflatables make the best sense not only for the Initial Permanent Base but for the initial phase of the International Bases on the Moon and Mars. They could use very large, 100 ton inflatables delivered via Starship. Doug will systematically go through the various modules of the InstaBase and then describe the scenario for the Initial Permanent Crew.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><b>Don\u2019t miss this informative space forum that will feature the innovative concepts for habitation on the Moon proposed by the Space Development Network.\u00a0<\/b> Doug will also share more about the Space Development Network and answer all of your questions. &#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: center;\"><em>* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><b>Doug Plata<\/b> is a physician in Redlands, CA.\u00a0 He is the President and Founder of the <a href=\"http:\/\/developspace.info\/\"><strong>Space Development Network<\/strong><\/a>, a free-to-join organization of space advocates networked to advance space development projects.
