Re: Lunar Air. Shelter. Water. Food, Waste management

I wanted to write this out as a post but for whatever reason the forum software bugs out if I try to write anything at all about it, despite otherwise working fine.  Very strange.  The idea is to use sodium metal and Iron oxide in place of calcium oxide and water to generate cross-linking in the material.

Link again since we're now on a new page:

Well, JoshNH4H, there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunarcrete but we are using on Earth granite Crete as well. There are probably others that can be made as well.

Yup. I'm not convinced this will make sense anywhere but I think it's an interesting idea
