Urin-Lunar Soil Concrete ( ESA program for future moon construction)
“Human waste to superplasticiser, astronaut
urine could become a useful resource for
making a robust type of concrete on the
Moon. A recent European study sponsored
by ESA showed that urea, the main organic
compound found in our urine, would make
the mixture for lunar concrete more
malleable before hardening into a 昀椀nal,
sturdy”
