Paper considers reusable transportation system for transporting personnel and cargo to and from lunar base, and in particular, integration of promising design concepts for separate applications into second-generation lunar transportation system; cost of "lunar manyear"; mission is broken down into individual phases of operation, and each phase analyzed over spectrum of cost conditions to determine their individual effect on total cost.
