that thing is huge! how are they going to transport it to the moon?

and why do they need it a cabin? the weather?

[basvg1]

They will do it in parts. And the cabin is because otherwise they would have to continually wear a spacesuit and that can only for about 6 hours (because of the oxygen).

@ghosterdude They need cabin so they have somewhere to sleep and live. Remember this thing is designed to traverse long distances for weeks on the moon. Far from the lander and ascent module. They were planning to transport it using the new lunar lander and ares V.
