Abstract:
Concrete materials are versatile and strong candidates for extraterrestrial construction. Initial observations from the Materials International Space Station Experiment-Flight Facility show promising results for the durability of geopolymer lunar concrete. While these experiments are a step forward, work is still needed to make the goal of human habitation on the lunar surface feasible.
