Named as space bricks, it could be used to assemble structures for habitation on the moon surface in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process enables making load bearing bricks by using lunar soil, bacteria and guar beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process developed now uses urea sourced from human urine, which could be mixed with lunar soil to build structures on the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This decreases the overall expenditure considerably. Sending bricks from Earth is not viable as it takes 7.5 lakh rupees to transport one pound of construction material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since guar gum is used instead of cement, there will be a lower carbon footprint. The bacteria is added to further crystallize the brick in any shape needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
