maintenance

The earliest reliable water production on the Moon worked because movement, storage, and repair were treated as one design problem.

Backlogged service work is starting to determine who gets priority, whose risk is tolerated, and which corridors stay trusted.

Lunar maintenance starts to work differently once depots are close enough to turn major repairs into routine loops.

Lunar dust does not only damage systems directly. It steadily raises the cost of keeping interfaces trustworthy.
