Firstly, go space!!

I'm an architecture student building a center for colonization preparation in Hakskeen Pan, South Africa.

It involves colonist training and research laboratories dedicated to building modules for deep space habitats

What would be my best bet getting these colonists and modules into space. Realistically using today's logistics how would i get my colonists and modules to a international launch pad.

What sizes am i working with. What is the radius of my workspace?

Colonists could fly with a helicopter to a airport and then to the States or Russia but my modules cant dangle from the air.

tldr: what is the volume for transportation within these rockets?

I'm an architecture student doing a Center for Space Colonization and Space Research in South Africa as my masters dissertation topic. I have loads of respect for your quest to further our understanding and reach into our universe. Good job.

Are there specific guidelines to the design decisions you have to make? Do you follow these rules? How does one test materials for these suits? Where does one test these materials? Are there design traits that extend into or come from other disciplines involved with Space Exploration? Does each layer of material serve a specific function and what are these functions? Less is more?
