after hearing about the most recent and largest zombie-mode map on Call of Duty: Black Ops, i got to thinking that such a scenario (minus the zombies of course :D) would go pretty well in my plausible-implausible ATL. for those who dont know, the map in question is a moon base, presumably from the cold war era. there's advanced technology like artificial gravity generators, teleporters, a biodome (not like that stupid movie), and other things

anyway, getting to the point, for my ATL or any given ATL, what does everyone think is the earliest or most plausible time after armstrong sets foot on the moon that the US, USSR, or any other country (or a combination of them) could conceivably and plausibly establish a base on the moon, and when such a base would become feasible? there can be multiple scenarios here for a given country or group of countries, and assume that everything that they would realistically require to establish a moon base is available to them; in other words, nothing ASB
