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?

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_.
