Recent discussions on lunar exploration have highlighted the potential of 'immature' lunar soil for constructing roadways on the moon. This development is significant as space agencies aim for a permanent lunar presence.
The Artemis Program is a key player in this initiative, focusing on sustainable lunar exploration. Meanwhile, the European Space Agency's Moon Village concept envisions a collaborative human settlement on the lunar surface.
Additionally, the Sino-Russian International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) emphasizes international cooperation in lunar research, further supporting the idea of utilizing lunar soil for infrastructure.
