That\u2019s why ICON is adjusting its 3-D home construction technology to be compatible with the moon\u2019s surface. Rather than pouring concrete and water through a traditional nozzle, the lunar 3-D printer will melt the moon\u2019s natural materials with a high-intensity laser and transform it into building material.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make sure the lunar construction system can withstand the unique environment of the moon, NASA and ICON plan to lower the 3-D printer into NASA\u2019s thermal vacuum chamber that mimics the moon\u2019s conditions. If the technology responds as intended, there\u2019s a chance that the first off-world houses could be built on the moon sooner than later.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
