Indian scientists develop SPACE BRICKS for future construction on the Moon

In what could be an important leap for lunar exploration, Indian scientists claim to have produced special bricks made from a material simulating the Moon's surface, based on samples brought back by NASA missions.

The Indian Institute of Science (IIS) teamed up with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to produce what they call "space bricks."

The invention, they say, as quoted by local media, will facilitate future construction projects on Earth's satellite.

...Researchers told media that the bricks are made with a "lunar simulant," an artificially produced material whose properties match samples provided by NASA's Apollo missions by 99.6 percent.
