CG artists use available assets to finish project on time, within budget. Don’t trust any computer generated speculative graphics to be accurate in any way. Some artists are just filing in the blanks to get the thing done.

Brave of you to assume DALLE or Midjourney wasnt the creator

The rendering looks way too 90’s to be made my modern AI image generation. Why would anyone ask midjourney to generate images that look like they were made in Bryce, when they could have it make anything else?

Everything you used to write this comment was at least partially made in China, let’s not pretend after 40 years of the world outsourcing to them that the don’t have the skill, infrastructure, or money to do what America did in the 70s.
Yeah that’s not great for the USA trying to maintain its position on top, but just because it sucks for us doesn’t mean it ain’t true.
We literally sold them our future for short term gains.

They don’t have the skill, infrastructure, or money to build what was shown in the rendering. Nobody does. To do what they show doesn’t just require a moon base, but full out lunar manufacturing. We only have preliminary ideas about how to do that, and we’re a long way from it being reality.
