NASA Will Build a House on the Moon in 2040

Dream - The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is currently planning to build a house on the moon in 2040. This house will not only be intended for astronauts but also for civilians.

However, NASA has not disclosed how much it will cost civilians to stay in the moon house. This plan is still in the early stages. NASA has already depicted what the shape of the house will look like from 2022, but the concept may change over the next decade.

According to the Daily Mail, NASA has even provided funding of US$60 million (Rp937.746 billion) to a construction technology company called ICON based in Austin to build the house.

ICON, which secured a contract from NASA in 2022, will utilize its expertise in 3D-printing houses on Earth to construct luxurious homes layer by layer using its system, The Vulcan.

ICON has also been printing 3D houses since 2018 and has built over 100 homes in North Austin. Houses built this way have become increasingly popular because they are quickly constructed, with developers saying that they can help solve the housing crisis in America.

In achieving the mission of building the house, NASA plans to launch a giant 3D printer to the moon and use moon concrete made of rocks, mineral fragments, and dust to coat structures on its surface.

Deputy director of the science and technology office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Raymond Clinton, who is now 71 years old, told The New York Times that he has never seen Americans in general living on the surface of the moon in his lifetime, but he hopes to see it in future generations.

"I hope I am still alive to see it," he said to The New York Times. "When we talk about sustainable human presence, for me, it means having settlements on the moon and having people living and working on the moon continuously. What can happen is only dependent on the imagination of entrepreneurs," he added.
