Today the trend of Space policy is based on designing low-cost missions. Especially thinking to Moon and Mars Missions, this approach seems to be mandatory. Two principal aspects affect the mission's costs: the launches' number, the astronauts' work hours necessary for building and assembling space infrastructures and operations/maintenance time. It is possible to reduce the number of flights for a given mission if we, as designers, approach the space habitat design and construction with a different way of thinking.
