Ferris Wheel on the Moon
A recent post by Void included an image of a large Ferris Wheel on Earth.
Apparently the world record for a Ferris Wheel on Earth is held by Dubai at 820 feet.
Because the Moon's gravity is less, I'm assuming steel could safely support a Ferris Wheel of 800*6 + 20*6 or 4800 + 120 or 4920 feet.
That would be quite a view over the Lunar landscape.
This topic is available if anyone in the membership were interested in posting about what such a Ferris Wheel might look like.
The passenger cars would be little life support pods, of course.
