space scientists 3D print LEGO bricks with meteorite dust to build astronaut homes on moon
Briefly

The scientists of the European Space Agency (ESA) grind them up into dust and mix them with a small amount of polylactide and regolith simulant.
The dust added to the mixture is around 4.5 billion years old. It was originally discovered in North-West Africa in 2000 and was classed as an L3-6.
Aidan Cowley, ESA Science Officer, says that no one has ever built structures on the moon, so he and his team are working out both how to construct them and what materials to use to make them given that they can't source directly from the moon at the moment.
