   What of the lower gravity (mentioned in "Peter's Commentary" here   
   www.lunar-reclamation.org/lavatube_pix.htm)?  Would the lower gravity cause   
   the gases that form in the lavatubes in the first place be able to escape   
   more readily than is the case on Earth (lower gravity and also no atmosphere   
   'outside')?   
      
   Would that cause structural problems (reducing the strength of the tubes)?
