There's a rich thread on the bird site about lunar construction

the are pondering binding regolith with plastic or heat from sunlight

Not discussing using water as a binder to create #frodobe yet

“How to build a lunar landing pad? We have progress! A study by @GregWAutry and myself on the economics of lunar construction, plus NASA-funded tech development by @UCF and @erfrnk of Cislune to greatly improve microwave absorption of lunar soil. More: https://t.co/4UlOQgI6xa”

@nasa is testing #3Dprinting of #marshabitats using what NASA calls lavacrete

My thought is that they should call it #frodobe which is frozen adobe made from resources found on #Mars specifically fine regolith (aka dirt) and water that's extruded hot like #PLA in a 3D printer & freezes to build a structure. NASA calls this In Situ Resource Utilization ISRU as we're not sending buildings from #Earth
