On November 15, China will launch a cargo spacecraft to its Tiangong space station, carrying innovative bricks designed from lunar soil simulants. The experiment aims to assess how these materials withstand the Moon’s harsh conditions, with temperatures ranging from 180 degrees to -190 degrees Celsius. If successful, these bricks, which are three times stronger than standard ones and interlock without adhesives, could pave the way for constructing lunar bases using in-situ materials. Other countries, including the US and Europe, are pursuing similar technologies for future lunar exploration.
