So is this facility pictured as a warehouse renting space to others or as an overall construction tools rental business? Mirwin 15:27, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Glass roads and foundations

Instead of producing bricks for roads out of Lunar regolith, it may be faster and more efficient to make roads of glass as outlined in this article: http://www.space.com/adastra/adastra_moondust_060223.html

""Picture a buggy pulled behind a rover that is outfitted with a set of magnetrons," he suggests. (A magnetron is the heating element in a microwave oven.) "With the right power and microwave frequency, an astronaut could drive along, sintering the soil as he goes, making continuous brick down 0.5 m deep," Taylor points out. He adds that by changing the power settings the astronaut could melt the top inch or two of the soil to make a glass road."

I thought it would be a headquater for building infrastructure. Sirstubby 03:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
