It's important to be careful we don't burn anything by accident with our spaceship.

What, you don't live underwater ?? How do stay offline?

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1021134128038 The mechanical properties of ice and snow are reviewed. The tensile strength of ice varies from 0.7–3.1 MPa and the compressive strength varies from 5–25 MPa over the temperature range −10°C to −20°C. The ice compressive strength increases

I'm so excited to visit the moon in a community spaceship! I think the first thing to do when on the workgroup for water material feasibility, would be to discern breaking pressures of ice.

I'm thinking that you could reduce the volume that needed to be held by using a fractal arrangement of smaller ice chambers. This could allow planning avenues to consider simpler chamber structures to start with.

I'm imagining first considering a pressure chamber made of ice, where the ice is sustained via a freezer, an obscure fractal shard arrangement, or by mixing with an insulating substrate. The biggest question that arises to me at first is how physically possible it would be to make an ice chamber t

Let's consider whether we might build a spaceship out of _water_. Not only will it be made out of water, it will be built and launched _underwater_.
