ESA and Lego Collaborate to Build Moon Bricks from Meteorite Dust
European Space Agency uses 3D printing technology to create Lego-style bricks for potential lunar construction
- ESA scientists developed 'space bricks' using meteorite dust to simulate lunar regolith.
- The bricks are designed to test construction techniques for future Moon bases.
- These bricks click together like traditional Lego pieces, offering flexibility in design.
- The project aims to reduce the need for transporting building materials from Earth.
- Space bricks are displayed in select Lego stores to inspire future space engineers.
