Summary from the TLDR newsletter

China has unveiled a mock-up of a moon colony that shows a handful of egg-shaped gray igloos and space rovers with Lego-like spacemen grounding between them. The model is a result of careful examination of the conditions on the moon, where there is a lack of raw materials, extreme temperature fluctuations, and cosmic radiation. China is planning to establish a permanent base on the moon by 2035 and is developing detailed plans accordingly. Pictures of the model are available in the article.
