With regards to the problem of creating a pressure vessel for the inner hull of
the construction shack, I have been doing some research. One particular
Aluminium magnesium alloy consists of 95% Al and 5%Mg. The alloy is used for
ship building on Earth. In its non-heat treated form, the alloy has a yield
strength of 275N/mm. The alloy should be relatively easy to produce from lunar
materials, given that both Aluminium and Magnesium are abundant in lunar soils.
