Notable vehicles
The Eagle Transporter was the workhorse of Moonbase Alpha. An excellent piece of intelligent designwork, the Eagles were modeular craft designed for use in a vacuum, where corrosion and wind resistance weren't factors. the craft has a smoothly streamlined pressurised cabin with two window slots (inspired by an insect head), with the rest of the craft body consisting of a longish lightweight scaffolding-type framework connecting the cab to four heavy-dutity stumpy shock-absorbing legs, with a set of rocket engines bolted to the back.
The central section was a detachable portacabin-sized module that might be a passenger compartment, or a goods bay, or a nuclear material transport bay. The eagles were exactly the sort fo general-purpose vehicle that you'd need if you were tryign to run a moonbase .
