OVERVIEW

ESTABLISHING THE INSTABASE
The InstaBase could easily be delivered in a single Starship payload delivery. Telerobots would move the InstaBase package to the center of a cleared, flattened, and compacted area. After being affixed to the ground using ground anchors, a small amount of condensed air released into the InstaBase would unfold and inflate it in less than an hour. Telerobots could then go inside and, over time, set up equipment and furniture, get everything running, and conduct tests. Water from local resources would be pumped into the layers in the outer walls in order to provide radiation shielding. Hence, the InstaBase would be readied for the arrival of the Initial Permanent Crew.

THE INITIAL PERMANENT CREW
That historic crew of about eight people would arrive to a turnkey small base and immediately get to work to ensure that the InstaBase is operating as designed. Then each crew member will apply their specific training to make their InstaBase home increasingly functional with an emphasis on growing food and demonstrations of the use of local resources (e.g. water, propellant, metals, machining, and organics such as plastics).

THE INTERNATIONAL LUNAR BASE
While we are watching this historic crew establish humanity's first permanent foothold off Earth, more and more Starships will be delivering payloads including specialty habs for an expanding International Lunar Base. That phase will establish large scale infrastructure, achieve efficiencies of scale, prove out systems, and generally prepare the way for private individuals to come and expand the base with now-proven habitats. Over time people groups will become large enough to where they will be able to establish their own, separate small settlements elsewhere.
