The Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) is studying the feasibility of the idea of ​​using rock on the moon to produce by.

Not to exclude the possibility that 3D printed bricks from lunar soil will be widely used on Earth.

"We are researching to exploit the moon land to form a special powder and then put it into 3D printers to produce bricks for the purpose of building facilities right on the moon. This will save very Sputnik quoted Dmitry Rogozin, director of Roscosmos, as saying the cost is much higher than it is now .

Besides, experts also do not exclude the possibility that 3D construction bricks from moon land will be widely used on Earth, contributing to environmental protection and cost reduction.

Helium-3 is quite rare on Earth and is considered a perfect energy source that can replace oil and gas. It is expected that by the end of November, Roscosmos will submit to the Russian government a draft of the new exploration and exploitation strategy on the Moon.
