# Event Details - **Event Name**: No Blueprint for the Moon: The Unknowns of Extraterrestrial Construction - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 01:30 pm – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 03:30 pm - **Event Description**: In this free talk, Dr. Caitlin Ahrens will examine lunar architecture not as science fiction, but as an applied problem in risk management.About this EventThis free presentation will examine lunar architecture not as science fiction, but as an applied problem in risk management, engineering under uncertainty, and evidence-based design. We will explore what it would actually mean to plan and build structures on the Moon, where our geotechnical data are sparse, environmental hazards are extreme, and many Earth-based design assumptions simply do not hold. We will delve into strategies for site planning in an extreme, unfamiliar environment, where Earth-based assumptions must be rethought. Key challenges discussed include working with limited data, potential hazards from the environment, and the need for adaptable, resilient design solutions in lunar conditions.Dr. Caitlin Ahrens is an assistant research scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and the University of Maryland. She is a member of the Diviner Science Team with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. In collaboration with Artemis, she serves as a technical support scientist to assist in risk assessments of astronaut, rover, and lander activity at the lunar surface. Dr. Ahrens is PI on a recent lunar sustainability work funded by the (former) NASA Office of Technology, Policy and Strategy. She also is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) working on how lunar architectures should be monitored for hazards, including construction, at the lunar surface. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bethesda/no-blueprint-for-the-moon-the-unknowns-of-extraterrestrial-construction/100001983047292835 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fno-blueprint-for-the-moon-the-unknowns-of-extraterrestrial-construction-tickets-1983047292835 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Bethesda - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center - **lat**: 38.9851703 - **long**: -77.0960613 - **full address**: Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center, 4805 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: National Capital Area Skeptics (https://allevents.in/org/national-capital-area-skeptics/26815983) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/4420f43efffa3cbc50a0df113be7c19252eff0af8c37e8635ef02b4d3be83fde-rimg-w700-h500-dc000000-gmir.jpg?v=1770991964 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/af2b413ffaa8574abefa16abc2de545053cdc963f274423c09ca9b9a4ee3b3d9-rimg-w400-h400-dc010001-gmir.jpg?v=1770991964 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 01:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center, 4805 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** National Capital Area Skeptics - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about No Blueprint for the Moon: The Unknowns of Extraterrestrial Construction ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "No Blueprint for the Moon: The Unknowns of Extraterrestrial Construction", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/4420f43efffa3cbc50a0df113be7c19252eff0af8c37e8635ef02b4d3be83fde-rimg-w700-h500-dc000000-gmir.jpg?v=1770991964", "startDate": "2026-02-21", "endDate": "2026-02-21", "url": "https://allevents.in/bethesda/no-blueprint-for-the-moon-the-unknowns-of-extraterrestrial-construction/100001983047292835", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "4805 Edgemoor Lane", "postalCode": "20814", "addressLocality": "Bethesda", "addressRegion": "MD", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.9851703", "longitude": "-77.0960613" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "In this free talk, Dr. Caitlin Ahrens will examine lunar architecture not as science fiction, but as an applied problem in risk management.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-21", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/bethesda/no-blueprint-for-the-moon-the-unknowns-of-extraterrestrial-construction/100001983047292835" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/bethesda/no-blueprint-for-the-moon-the-unknowns-of-extraterrestrial-construction/100001983047292835", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "National Capital Area Skeptics", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/national-capital-area-skeptics/26815983" } ] } ] ```
