Scientists found that humans could turn lunar dirt into smooth, clean roads on the moon - all with the help of a giant lens.
New research has found that humans could turn lunar dirt into smooth, clean roads on the moon — all with the help of a giant lens.this week, scientists created a proof of concept demonstrating how lunar dust could be melted using a giant lens to create solid roads and landing areas.
The researchers slowly traced out bendy triangle shapes, each around 9.84 inches across, which could be interlocked to create solid surfaces across large areas of lunar soil, serving as future roads and landing pads. “But in fact it’s a kind of depressing demand early on. It’s very loose material, there’s no atmosphere, gravity is weak, so the dust gets everywhere.
dust on the moon can make conducting research difficult and is a vexing challenge for space agencies hoping to set up camp.
