Wouldn't the extremely low temperature on the moon cause the concrete to hardened??
Yeah but you just correct size in spacex starship you just engaged in my bulshit look spacex starship is the beginning a new colony why could you crazy spacex because you mine full of turn

So literally these will be glass houses. I can't wait to see how it holds up against a meteorite strike. The craters are not golf holes
Why don't they just build underground?
In our atmosphere with 14.7 psi atmospheric, concrete needs time to cure. Curing too fast will make the concrete brittle. With no atmospheric pressure, it may cure too fast. Sounds like a good mini experiment for outside of the ISS. There have been upgrades to the deep space network, mostly to handle larger data packets for Mars missions. With the increase of active missions that NASA operates, the DSN is due for some major capacity upgrades. With all the planned manned and robotic missions to the moon, Luna nets time has come!
Thanks, I was wondering about that
In the lunar atmosphere it’s impossible for normal concrete to cure at all. The difference I temperature from the sunny to the shady sides are far too extreme for conventional concrete. Along with that, any moisture used to activate the concrete would evaporate into space. I believe the material they’re planning on using has very little to do with the concrete we use on earth.
@@victorbellew3759 The articles I've read speak of melting silica regolith with Magnesium oxide. The product is very close to natural stone. Another method might be the Masten in-Flight Alumina Spray Technique (FAST) Landing Pad. It changes the approach to landing on planetary bodies by mitigating the landing plume effects by creating a landing pad under the lander as it descends onto a surface. I am sure that Material Scientists are devising other methods as well.
NASA has already done this in a vacuum chamber. They also developed a glue that could be used in a vacuum to repair Space Shuttle tiles and wing damage but was never used. Also, they are not making concrete. They are using regolith as a filler with some kind of binder that works in a vacuum. It will work but what is unknown is how good and how will they get the Machine and materials there when NASA can't really even go to the Moon?
Best choice is underground. Long road until we'll have domes. The Bore company can explain
Can't wait to see a 3d-printed habitat on the moon! Very cool!
I'd also like to see Bigelow's inflatable habitat being used up there.
Quite inexpensive, very fast to set up, very robust (apparently it can handle micrometeorites).
It's another option and it's good to have options.
11:59 that's Mars. Just saying. 😊
There is more then the low gravity to consider when planing the structure of printed habitats. The pressure differential may be enough to prevent the building from properly compressing in the low gravity. Since concrete is strong in compression but week in tension, any structures would require some kind of reinforcement or alternatively a whole lot of mass(lunar regolith or maybe water tanks?) weighing it down.
this tech can have other applications like emergency situations or a corrosive environment, but using robotics because we are lazy or it will save money, is not an excuse for losing touch with construction deconstruction and repair, in the long run, that is catastrophic mistake, that may cost us.
Excellent stuff bro
If the pressure inside the lunar home is only 4 psi, the same pressure as space suits, the total force on a 8 foot wide by 8 foot tall wall will be over 36,000 pounds of force. There is just no way you can have a surface habitat because there is no atmospheric pressure. And any window would have to be 6" thick.
Any habitat has to be underground so the mass of the regolith against the habitat EQUALS the total force on the inside ceiling and walls.
Also, for water to be a liquid there has to be pressure. Without pressure the water vaporizes, so you can't spray cement on the surface of the moon or Mars.
Icon is actually building buildings in an army base in texas
Creating green house gases would be a great idea for the moon or Mars, both of those places are desperately short of green house gases. Also it has never really been proved that more greenhouse gasses are a real problem for Earth. Yes CO2 makes for changes, but are they really bad in the long term? We should think out of the box a bit more.
Excellent rehearsal for doing it on Mars!
Anything that helps astronauts against mars sand storms, obv radiation, and the freezing temperature will just be incredible, And a bade on the moon might enable people to use the moon as a sort of a gateway to mars. All sound too good.
Sounds like the Deep Space Network has the EXACT same problem as the National Electrical Grid - Not Enough Infrastructure to handle even Near Future Bandwidth/Loads.

The cement doesn't need to be Portland. Epoxy works quite well in a vacuum. Better in fact! Just bring the right epoxy & hardener, add a tiny bit of stabilizer, and you have a concrete that will last.
There NASA programs like L'Space where students learn to write sophisticated NASA tier-approved proposals and I remember seeing a proposal from a team about doing researching on using Lunar Regolith to make the filaments and another team doing active research on building launch pads. Winning teams get $10,000 for continuing research and I was involved in a team in researching radiation protection. It really cool to see students like ourselves getting involved in the space frontier
NASA should've invested in Lego. Same bricks but on a larger scale. Just snap them together.😂
Let’s sling Mar’s moons towards Earth”s orbit and use them as regular shuttles!!!
Maybe this was posted before the discovery was made but they found water trapped in little beads of glass that are found in the entire surface of the moon, so the water is there and we don’t have to go to the poles to get to it
Mr. Snuggle's wormobile and 3d printed hatchways may also be an option. Considering even earth acts as an air barrier in mine collapses.
Liquid flow ends when it's space cold. I wonder how you heat the mix, all the piping, and the spout, and the extrusion doesn't freeze solid and basically shatter on contact with anything.
Would the regolith not be radioactive as there is no atmosphere there?
why not use sls printing technieke??
We need some kind of hotels,so tourists can explore on their own ?
Guided tours and a new typ of holiday ?
Can we start in just a few years ?
My mom was literally working at icon and told me about this a while ago I didn’t know it was so big
Nice engineering, Godspeed & more success!
hi
They'll need tons of solar panels, to power dozens of printers that hot. Or well placed mini reactors.
Why not just use the ice on the lunar surface for water n mix the structure with fungi so the interior self heals
good question, the problem is that heating up water on mars doesn't turn it into liquid water, the atmospheric pressure is too low, it goes from ice to vapor. it would vapor out of the concrete before it could cure. :)
There's water and ice on the moon
Un gran sueño que jamás pasará.
help sure for returning by Moon
I wish the government would promote and fund moon landing More. We Must land first
if no fuel problem sure succses
I love problem i looove answers
👍
Good luck on proof of concept.
I don't think that will work because even the sand like the moon has pebbles in it. I'm the one who have to turn the soil for my moms Tomatoe garden every year or I don't get my 20 dollars a week allowance. The moon was part of the earth so no doubt there are a lot of pebbles.
Whatever they use to build the moon habitats, I just hope they paint them bright colors.

But how fast will it print the benchy boat?😊
Why not use Pyramid technology, i.e., mine stone blocks to high precision and stack them around each Starship? The tech is old but it is proven with little equipment needed? The New Stone Age.
One issue against this idea is the massive amounts of dust it would generate.
Still more feasible than that suggested in the video though. Heating regolith till it melts is all very well, but that would require an insane amount of power. Which means sending some form of power station up. Which means constant mainenance, fuel.... Even a solar farm would mean robots to deploy them, plus make the entire project incredibly vulnerable to moon dust kicked up during construction, or during rockets landing/taking off.
Yes, TBH your pyramid idea makes a lot more sense.
Can we have at least circular or ovoid Houses on the moon? I'm tired of the common 4 wals
I imagine a construction worker at the site of a 3D printed house
Worker: "Alrighty boss man, going to break"
Boss: "Break from what, sittin on your ass watchin the robot?"
Worker: 😳
Inflatables would the best temporary housing until these 3D habitats to be built.
I have not found any numbers published about the energy requirement of that kind of 3D-print technology But melting silicone needs a lot of it. On Earth we have a lot of electric energy, but on the moon huge power plants don´t exist. On Mars it is even more difficult, because solar radiation is so much weaker and not available during night and heavy dust storms.
3-D printing regolith by melting ist, would be comparable with production of Rockwool which is based on molten silicone as well . To produce 1kg of Rockwool 2-5 kWh of energy are required,.That would be 6000 to 15000 kWh for 1 m3 of 3D-printed massive wall or ceiling.
But massive walls and ceilings even are not needed. In the lunar vacuum or in the thin martian atmosphere the main challenge for the structure is not weight, but the inner air pressure. Atmospheric pressure has a force of 100KN/m2 or equivalent to the weight of 10 metric tons per squaremeter on Earth. Thus a thin and light inflatable membrane structure with sufficient tensile strength is sufficient. The inflatable structure can be covered with several meters of loose regolith for protection from cosmic radiation and micro-meteorites. The inner air-pressure can easily care the weight of the regolith deposit.
since the inner air pressure has the greatest impact, the building should better be spheric , cylindric or toroidal in order to avoid bending forces on a rigid structure, and not a rectangular shape with flat walls and ceilings as on the Mars- prototype but by Icon
What life could live in Titan's and Venus's clouds?
Property house in the moon and make a lot ships factory
I’m all for pushing technological and scientific advancements… but I can’t help but think of how that $$$ can go toward solving so many issues here on earth. Living on the moon is a cool concept but should remain just that, a concept.
Underground. Astronauts are not going on vacation. Money and the prospect
Of making more $ will lead to solutions. Robots will play an enormous role.
Question......Could extremophiles that live in volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean survive on Venus????
It’s just like in Blade Runner and the book “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. “ The rich 💵 will be living on the moon 🌚 and mars and the rest of us will be left living on Earth in all the kibble garbage .
It’s not to late to stop them though 😎
Test systems at the South pole. Print the proposed Mars base with Robots and other projects expanding to the moon for the second generation upgraded advance construction and technology. With TV screens these days... Star Trek Hollow Decks, not to disclude holographics. Man will need recreation. Large enough for a gym.
It's a 3d printed colon actually, not a colony. Except for microbes and shit.
That is cool tech, but if we value life so much that we are afraid of taking risks. thus relying on technologies to do the high risk jobs, it will just make us soft.
Not soft; capable.
@@SjMk1. That is a stupid excuse for not maintaining hands on experience, that is abysmal, now if individuals want to do this. That is their choice, to me, losing the actual human construction worker, is the worst decision ever. Now. On the flip side, if this tech was used for visual 3d models or to use only in Extreme conditions where humans could simply not be of use without risk of injury or death, then yes we use that. But to take over the construction industry is a catastrophic level mistake.
so essential for the limited use it can be useful for. To replace the human job, the safe construction jobs, is borderline stupid. For the things it can be useful for, Im okey with that. So you know what im getting at.
i wonder how will they keep the regolith warm enough in those -70°c to - 90°c to make a building from regolith on mars and the moon . i see an engineering problem coming up.
Spray foam
they only need to heat a small amount of regolith up to 1400°c within a slam volume inside the printer jet, one by one. and in vacuum o the moon there is no heat transmission, just heat radiation. but alle of the building material needs to be heated to that temperature and the needs a lot of energy
the Chinese have been doing it for years
Forget about concrete, its from minus 173C to +100C so no water base concrete is possible. The only way is melting but you need a big amount of power... For deap space communication you have Starlink, its made for this, Elon is stupid from time to time but Starlink is build to make money with earth and help to enable communication for Starship and Mars.
Not much air on the moon it would take a long time for the mix to go off..
A lonnnng time assuming they tried to use concrete
I can tell you now it won't work, concrete is strongest when its wet or moist, on top of the fact it take years to coat the electronics for machines in space to operate. with the constant freezing environment on mars the water would crystalize before in the concrete causing severe structure decay.
Someone tell this geek there actually is ice and some water on the moon !
Also do look into the Richard C Hoagland info on architecture on the moon.
Naw...They finessed Nasa! lol
Imagine what the Moon will look like 1,000 years.
Is it better to build a science lab first to study the natural resourses capability? This could be build with the same materials at the ISS
It's about time they start putting their peanuts together 3D printing and robots getting the materials to the Moon use lunar dust to build state-of-the-art technology send an AI robot let the robot figure it out and hope for the best
I need help building amphibious homes for people to survive tsunami.
$100's of BILLIONS later...nada. Moon dust is going to stop any attempts to colonize that rock.

If we ever have permanent base there it mostly will be UNDERGROUND. It's the only meteorite and radiation safe solution and also it's huge savings on heating. Only 2m under the surface of Moon temperature is stable all the time and is about -25C. Best option is to build at the bottom of some crater and than cover it with local sand (regolith) that gives bullet proof safety and insulation.
Wee cannot live on the surface of the moon. We can only live below the surface. Same applies to Mars. We better get used to it.
In fact all that will permanently inhabit the moon and mars is our robots. Maybe in the distant future some crazy cyborgs will go there, but after enough humans have died trying to live there, the romantic belief of living off earth will fade. Our feeble bodies are not made for that…
If 3D printed houses on the Moon happen at all it won't be till 2050 or beyond. The process has to be perfected on Earth first then adapted to the lunar environment. Then the money has to be found to fund the development on the Moon.
We have so many problems on Earth now, some of which could really get much more serious such as war possibly global war, famine, climate change and many more. It's very likely that any thoughts of a Moon base could be sidelined for years or decades.
Seems unlikely, as a Moon base is now viewed in strategic and military terms. Thus the desire to build structures on the Moon is being accelerated. USA wants to beat the Chinese. It would be a significant embarrassment for the USA, if they get beaten at this game. Expect testing of 3D printing on the Moon before 2035. They wont be able to perfect this on Earth, as the environment is different. The race is officially on.
@@JoeyBlogs007 Russia is going to be weakened for decades due to the war in Ukraine.
China is experiencing problems with their shut down of their cities due to Covid restrictions. If they keep up with these shut downs and western countries move manufacturing to other countries China is going to be seriously weakened.
There's been no discussions of training astronauts to go to the Moon and no discussions of beginning 3 D printing on Earth let alone practice for doing it on the Moon.
We already have a moon base , what are you waffling on about
@@arcturiansangels123 I'm talking about the moon base with permanent housing, 7-11s on every street corner and StarBucks everywhere.
I understand that the Chinese might have attempted a secret moon landing. The astronauts didn't make it back to Earth apparently. There are photo's floating around of them portrayed as aliens due to their distorted facial features, which was believed to be caused by the atmospheric conditions on the Moon. So apparently they weren't aliens, but rather deceased Chinese astronauts. The photos were leaked and now all over the internet.
Useing heat to fuse lunar material should work. Lunar material has about 40 percent oxagen. Correct me if i am wrong. 🙂
I cant see how 3d printing construction walls makes any sense at all on the moon or Mars etc....you will be living underground as much as possible not inside a printed house with poor insulation from cold and radiation....its just not practicle at all so will never happen IMO - better to make stuff in strong layers underground and then transport as needed elsewhere if building above ground....
They won't be doing this
They have already done it
everything you own came out of the ground! get over it!
Elon can do this 100 times cheaper and 1000 times faster. I'm confident... 😉
Ok that is the dumbest thing I have heard. One you need water to create the slurry that you need. Water is very valuable to wast on concrete. Secound how are you going to make an air tight seal around a doors or windows. Try to build somthing wearing thick work gloves... then you will know what I am talking..
what if pyramids and old sculptures are built by time travellers via 3d printing.🥸
Great video! Do you guys have a Twitter and/or Instagram I can follow?
Your exclamation marks are so . . .so foolish.
