FLORIDA – NASA plans to build a house on the Moon by 2040 that can be used by astronauts and the general public. Building a house on the Moon is very necessary because NASA has a long mission on the Earth’s satellite.
NASA is not just talking about plans to build a house on the Moon. In fact, this project has been running for a long time so that the process of building a house on the Moon will actually go according to plan.
The first step they took was to send a three-dimensional printing machine to the Moon. “NASA believes that in 2040 the United States will have the first society living in outer space,” wrote the New York Times, quoted by SINDOnews, Wednesday (4/10/2023).
It is hoped that the printing machine will be able to build structures, which will later become residences, layer by layer. Where does the material come from? “The building will be made of rock chips, mineral fragments and dust in the upper layers of the moon,” continued the New York Times.
Niki Werkheiser, Director of Technology Maturation at NASA, said that the plan to build a house seemed like a fantasy. It’s just that NASA actually sees that building a house on the Moon is inevitable.
To make this wish come true, NASA has invited several parties to be involved in this prestigious mission. NASA needs other science and technology that can help build a house on the moon.
“Everyone is ready to take this step together, so if we develop our core capabilities. There is no reason it can’t be done,” said Niki Werkheiser.
One of the parties invited by NASA to be involved in building the house was the construction company, ICON. NASA even provided aid funds so that ICON could create a construction system that could be used in outer space.
