AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of "Moon Bricks," which are proposed materials for constructing habitats on the lunar surface. These bricks could potentially be used to create igloo-like structures that provide shelter for future lunar colonies. The material is designed to mimic lunar rock and could serve as an effective barrier against gamma rays. There is a suggestion that while these bricks may be suitable for outer shells, their structural demands should not be overstated. Overall, the development of Moon Bricks represents a significant step toward sustainable living on the Moon.

Cool, at least if used as an outer shell to block gamma rays (and add mass). Somehow I would not want to demand/expect more of them.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
