Line 11:
** Lunarcrete (which the base is supposedly made of) is also easily able to block the level of radiation found on the Moon without additional expensive stuff, one of the reasons it's been researched.
* I regarded it as a bit of a plot hole that one of the Sams could get home using the H3 shipping container, as it had an unrealistic resistance to G-forces and was inexplicably filled with air. However, I thought a little more about the shipping containers, and figured out how it would work, and most likely did: Containers are probably recovered on Earth, emptied of their contents, then filled with supplies such as food and medicine and sent back to the base. It would make sense that they'd build it to be an air-filled, less damaging environment, so that they would have a better chance of being able to send up something unexpected that they would inevitably need. It's a mildly contrived explanation, but if you need something to solidly put your mind to rest about it so that you can enjoy a fantastic movie, it works great.
* Three years of 1/6th Earth gravity plays merry hell on the clones' metabolism {{spoiler|and the 3 year placement is based on their expected life span in such conditions. As the company has been demonstrated to not particularly care about human life over profit, they essentially work their tools until they break.}}
