Quote:I don't recall all the details of the MASH units and I don't see any links on the Nikaido Foundation's page. But, if I recall correctly, they are based on standard cargo containers, yes?Yes. The only description is the one on that page: "A few of the cargo containers are outfitted as fully-Danetech field surgeries and donated to Medecins Sans Frontieres so that their doctors can work to their full potential after disasters. These are always "abandoned in place" in an effort to provide at least basic emergency medical facilities all over the Solar System."
Which, of course, means we don't even need to divert any away from MSF - the Foundation would simply supply some to whoever wants and can use them.
Quote:Their primary means of transportation will probably resemble a super cargo container ship, but it would be built from the keel-up to be a sea-landing stellar transport vehicle.Perfect for carrying converted cargo containers, then... Have a couple of dozen single-family-dwelling containers and a communal-shower container to go with each surgery container; assembling them together to form a small field hospital is your job.
