NASA plans to build towering homes on the moon where astronauts can live, here's how it looks like and how the construction will be done
NASA’s goal is to create «Class III» structures, which means buildings fully constructed using materials sourced from the Moon itself. This approach would save both time and costs compared to transporting materials from Earth. The process involves harvesting lunar regolith (Moon rock) using mining robots, which would then be 3D printed into whatever structures are needed, such as homes, roads, and launch pads.

NASA has been testing virtual mining robots through simulations, a project known internally as «Moon Tycoon.» The mining robots would be sent to the Moon in the next few years to harvest up to 10 metric tons of regolith. These resources would then be used to build not just homes, but also other essential structures like landing pads, berms, and compacted pathways.
NASA has even demonstrated 3D-printed building designs in collaboration with AI. SpaceFactory, a forward-thinking architecture company, has created designs showcasing what these structures might look like on the lunar surface.
