Thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Let's start with your past. There have been rumors about your involvement in illegal weapon trade during the Resource Wars. Can you comment on this? Moritz: Well, you know how rumors can be. People like to create stories. I can assure you that there's no official information to support such claims. I've always been focused on the future, not dwelling on the past. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: Your nickname, Hund, has an interesting history. Could you tell us more about its origin? Moritz: (Chuckles) Ah, the infamous nickname. Back during those chaotic times, I was known for my relentless determination to overcome any obstacles in my way. It's true; I didn't let anything or anyone stand in the way of my goals. Hence, the name. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: Some years ago, you survived an assassination attempt that left you with robotic prosthetics. How has that experience affected you? Moritz: Surviving that attempt was no small feat, and I've come to appreciate life even more. My prosthetics may make me look like a machine to some, but I'm still very much human. I've learned to be more cautious, but I haven't let it deter me from pursuing my dreams. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: You've been a manager of a European lunar base and a proponent of Martian colonization. Can you tell us more about your ambitions in space exploration? Moritz: I believe that space exploration is our future. We must expand beyond Earth to ensure the survival of our species. I've always been an advocate for pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Mars colonization is just the beginning, and I aim to be a part of it. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: Moritz, I understand your keen interest in the moonshell technology. Could you share what fascinates you the most about it? Moritz: Moonshell technology is indeed a remarkable development. As a former entrepreneur, what intrigues me the most are the automated workers it has brought to the forefront. These include bots, drones, cargo robots, and construction robots. They have the potential to revolutionize the way we operate on the Moon. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/28e6972b95bfaa336895134849114f77e16fdd25.gif[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: That's quite interesting. Let's delve into drones a bit further. Can you tell us about their role and capabilities in the lunar environment? Moritz: Drones play a crucial role on the Moon. They're flying units used for various purposes, such as resource scanning and terrain analysis. The technology behind these lunar drones is fascinating. They utilize advanced propulsion systems for flight and cutting-edge scanning and imaging technology to assess the lunar surface. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: Could you shed some light on the technology behind their flight and the scanning processes? Moritz: Certainly. Lunar drones use innovative propulsion systems for mobility in the Moon's low-gravity environment. They often employ energy-efficient engines that provide exceptional thrust and maneuverability. This technology is essential for their smooth operations in lunar missions. In terms of scanning, these drones are equipped with advanced scanners and imaging devices that allow them to analyze resources and thoroughly survey the lunar landscape. They use technology like laser scanning, imaging spectrometry, and X-ray fluorescence to gather essential data for our lunar endeavors. It's a fascinating blend of engineering and science, all contributing to the progress of lunar exploration. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/3cd1aaa18754415a36583ad5311d0ebccba40c72.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: Moritz, I'm curious, are all drones on the Moon the same? Moritz: Not at all. There are various types of drones, each designed for specific purposes. We can either use units specially created for space missions or modify units that previously operated on Earth, perhaps for border surveillance, mining, or even for more nefarious activities like state surveillance by certain governments. Of course, adapting these drones for lunar missions requires advanced technology and the right production facilities. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: That's intriguing. The versatility of these drones is remarkable. What else can you tell us about them? Moritz: Well, what's even more fascinating is that the drone models themselves are just a framework. We can further customize them by adding various modules like Hull, Shield, Engine, Scanners, CPU, Batteries, and AI. These modules can change the drone's parameters, enabling it to perform more complex tasks based on the needs of Moonshell Corporation and lunar colonies. Of course, the more intricate the model and the more modules you add, the longer it takes to manufacture the drone and, consequently, the more expensive it becomes. So, balancing your drone's configuration is crucial because every decision can determine survival or failure on the Moon. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: That's a valuable insight, Moritz. So, it's all about optimizing the drone models and their modules to match the demands while considering cost and production time. Moritz: Exactly. It's a delicate balance, and the right configuration can mean the difference between success and failure on the lunar frontier. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: You said there are also bots, cargo drones, and construction bots. Could you tell us more about them? Moritz: Certainly, these automated units, bots, cargo drones, and construction bots, function in a similar way. We can create them based on different models and configure their modules to suit specific needs. Of course, it all depends on the available budget, production capacity, and the technology being used. For example, take the Grabrobotter CZ2, a geodetic probe-collecting bot developed in my home country. It allows you to attach two Hull modules, whereas the more technologically advanced Turkish auto-miner, the Kazma XX3, can only accommodate one. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/efa26953ba619b72bc59d0b976c519abfbdd4d82.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: I see, but I'd rather not delve too deeply into these technical details. How about we change the topic and talk about the sense of longing for family and loved ones? Moritz: Let me end - another thing I love in units it’s that the choice of names can provide us with a glimpse into the history, culture, and technological inspirations behind these units and modules. It's a testament to how intertwined our past is with the present and the future of lunar colonization. For instance, the Filipino construction bot, the Tagabuo ME2, played a significant role in their economic boom, while its Greek counterpart caused a labor market crisis. It's also fascinating how companies name their products. Scanning modules for drones bear the names of renowned optical scientists, Hull modules are named after ancient tanks from World War II, and CPU modules are dedicated to brilliant mathematicians from around the world. Now we can change the topic. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: It's no secret that you're a father. What can you tell us about your relationship with your daughter? Moritz: (Smiles) My daughter means the world to me. She's been prepared to inherit my empire since birth, and I have every confidence in her abilities. She's on the Moon, contributing to our goals. Any suspicions of nepotism are unfounded. She earned her place through hard work and determination. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/5667379a5c34bd562cf4116b3bf1bbeb33f03cc4.png[/img]Interviewer: Thank you for your time, Moritz. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. Moritz: You're welcome. It's been a pleasure to speak with you. Let's keep our focus on the future and our endeavors in space exploration.
