...called upon to make repairs, he will have to maneuver in zero gravity; his clothing will have toward off solar heating twice as strong as on the earth's surface. Any space suit will have to be equipped with a portable oxygen supply and its own air-conditioning apparatus...

Another part will have several hundred square yards of scintillation counters to watch for mu-mesons generated by neutrinos that hit particles in the rock surrounding the mine. On the earth's surface these neutrino-induced mu-mesons are almost impossible to identify because of confusion caused by cosmic rays...
