'Moon Bricks' Devised for Potential Lunar Igloos

Take some moon dust, add some ground up spaceship, zap the mix with electricity, and presto! Moon bricks.

Astronauts living on the moon could someday use such a formula to construct an interlocking, virtually indestructible dome-shaped home.

"The habitat would look just like an igloo," said Kathryn Logan, a professor at Virginia Tech involved in the project. "No nails, no cement would be necessary to hold it together. The shape of the bricks will do that."

The moon bricks were created as part of the Pacific International Space lunar exploration and colonization. The VT team won one of two prizes in this year's competition. A team from Massachusetts Institute of Technology won the other prize.
