Moon Base Zero · Lunar south pole
How Moon Base Zero works
A model of the first lunar base, built from real hardware. Every lander, rover and habitat here is a real project from a real company or space agency, gathered on the Shackleton ridge where NASA's first Moon Base landing is aimed. No base site has been chosen yet. First a walk down the base, then one of its races from first bet to payout.

Power fields
Every district is a race.
The base is laid out along one road, a district for each thing the Moon needs. Each district holds the teams racing to deliver it. Out here at the east end is power. On this ridge the sun never climbs more than a couple of degrees above the horizon, and for long stretches of the year it drops below it, so the base has to ride out the dark. Working through a lunar night is a race of its own, called Night Shift.
Comms & navigation
A line home.
Relays and beacons that keep the base talking to Earth and let everything on the surface know where it is. Like every machine on this map, each one is a real mission from a real team.
Habitat district
Where people will live.
The heart of the base. Pressurized modules, from single habitats up to flagship programs like NASA's Moon Base and ILRS, stand here side by side, racing to keep people living on the Moon.
Rover district
First Tracks.
The rovers driving the base road are racing for First Tracks: the first commercial rover to roll off its lander and drive. Every race like this one can have a DePrize, where anyone can predict or bet on who gets there first. Just past the rovers is where it all starts.
Landing zone
Follow one race: Touchdown.
Six landers stand in the landing zone: Blue Ghost, Nova-C, Blue Moon MK1, Griffin, ispace's ULTRA and Chang'e-7. Touchdown asks which one makes the next upright, working lunar landing. Here is how a DePrize turns that question into a market, from the first bet to the payout.
The market
The race becomes a market.
Every competitor has a live chance to win, set by what people are paying to back them. It starts even and moves with every bet.
