Storage capacity on the starship is limited, and thus it is essential we improve our ability to procure locally sourced materials during our interstellar expeditions. Therefore, we ask that contributors craft experimental tools using only materials found in Sinus Ardorum. This shall be an exercise not only of practical use to our future interstellar endeavors, but a scientific inquiry into what manner of tools contributors can craft from lunar resources.
