  • Cheap to expand: By using clever construction methods, expanding the colony volume might be fairly inexpensive. A variation on the technique used to build Monolithic Domes seems promising [MDI]. Fill a plastic form with water, then spray or layer on concrete and insulation. When the concrete has set and can take the pressure, pump the water out and pump air in, and you have a new airspace. If the colony is not very deep (so water pressure is low), the form can simply be inflated with air from the beginning.
