It's humorously remarked that the moon is an object made of swiss cheese. Though amusing, this idea of a symbiotic relationship of bacteria being used to culture cheese is employed as a cornerstone in creating this project. Man has now finally come to the very limits of our own planet, and through scientific endeavor and ingenuity which brought us to where we are, we now plan to colonize our closest celestial neighbor. The proposal made here outlines how we might settle there and create a sustainable lifestyle on a hostile celestial body by borrowing ideas from cyclic adiabatic processes and from Legos. Located on the lunar north pole where long days and water Ice are abundant, the colony is almost metaphorical to a celestial Petri-dish where life can grow and prosper over a period of time, a new frontier to test our limits and to forge new goals for a brighter future.
