Scientists Are 3D Printing Fake Moon Dust Into Useful Objects
The idea is that a moon colony will be able to make its own stuff.

Replacing parts on a lunar base could pose a major challenge, since resupplying missions will likely be massively expensive and time consuming.
That’s why a group of scientists led by the European Space Agency are exploring ways to 3D print anything from screws to coins using artificial lunar regolith — a simulation, essentially, of moon dust.
