"NASA's Moon Subdivision: A Lunar Housing Project Coming Soon"

NASA scientists are planning to construct civilian housing on the lunar surface using 3D-printing robots by 2040. The agency is developing concepts for lunar rocket landing pads, construction robots, and concrete mixtures to build structures that would shelter humans on the moon. NASA is partnering with ICON, a Texas-based construction company, to develop the necessary infrastructure for a long-term human presence on the moon. The agency aims to send a construction robot to the moon that will use lunar materials to build dwellings. This project is part of NASA's Moon to Mars approach, with lunar missions serving as precursors to future journeys to Mars.
