Astronauts could one day be living on the Moon inside glass bubbles made from lunar dust.
US space agency NASA is funding research into the large liveable spheres which would be created on the lunar surface.
Tiny pieces of so–called lunar glass that is a component of the Moon's soil, or regolith, along with rocks and mineral fragments – would be collected upon arrival from Earth.
The material would be melted down in a microwave-powered furnace.
The furnace would then blow the glass into a bubble left to harden into a large, transparent structure.
The idea is to expand them by hundreds or thousands of feet, into workable astronaut homes from 300 to 500 metres wide.
The idea has been dreamt up by US space engineering company Skyeports.
They could also be made self-sealing with polymers in the glass polymers reorganising themselves after any breaks caused by lunar earthquakes.The homes could also be fitted with solar panels to generate their own energy.
Skyeports chief executive Dr Martin Bermudez hopes to see entire cities of the spheres on the Moon and Mars, connected by glass
bridges.
OPS: Render of the Skyeports glass bubble plan.One day a version could be made for putting into orbit around the Moon.
