Humanity reached the moon on July 21, 1969, more than half a century ago. After years of research, expeditions and experiments, it is now The National Center for Aeronautics and Space Administration (a potfor its abbreviation in English) Plans for building houses To prolong the stay on the Earth’s satellite.
The buildings will be suitable for both Astronauts as well as ordinary people. According to agency estimates, it is expected that by Year 2040 It will be for the Americans First constructions.
a 3D printer It will be the main element for building houses in it moon. With this artifact, NASA plans… Generate structureslayer by layer, with specialized lunar concrete created from it Metal fragments, rocks, and dust from the Moon’s surface layer.
he Moon dust It’s one of the biggest hurdles this mission presents. This material is so abrasive that it can Cut like glass And Toxic if inhaled.
However, the solution could lie in the problem itself. Program scientists a pot She suggests that if homes can be 3D printed on Earth using materials found on the planet, the same can be done on the Moon. bloomwill be the main one raw materials.
In this way, the American administration entered into a partnership with icon, a construction technology company. Thanks to this alliance, Architects were involved in creating the renderings and designs.
On the other hand, NASA is working on planning the interiors of homes In cooperation with many universities and private companies In creation Furniture models And Interior designs Which can resist the environment. However, it is worth remembering that Outer Space Treaty She declares that no one can own the moon.
Despite initial planning, some NASA scientists believe deadlines have been set They are very ambitiousBased on the evidence that landing on the moon again is not possible yet. The latter could change in November this year when Artemis II missionIn which the ship will be loaded Four astronauts on the moon.
Reaching the moon and developing the lunar base They are important goals for NASA. However, the administration has a big task ahead of it: Getting to Mars.
Landing on the big red planet is a The ancient desire of the astronaut community. However, the goal will not just be on the surface, it is planned as well Based on Mars.

Scientists from a pot They think that Luna can be used as an intermediate stop Before reaching the red planet and even water From the surface of the moon can work fuel For ships.
In this way it becomes the moon Astronauts heading to Mars stop. Since June 2023, four astronauts from… a pot They entered Mars Dune Alphaa 160-square-metre structure 3D-printed by ICON, dyed the same color as the rust on Mars, where they will spend a year on it. Similar simulation conditions Those of the great planet as practical preparation for the mission that is expected to be accomplished Putting humanity on Mars by 2040.
