Well. How about something different from the usual viral load of disease and politics?

What kind of mind comes up with the idea to do an experiment mixing moon rocks and pi$$ to see if it makes a decent extra-terrestrial building material.

There is a somewhat longer original article with a video at: Astronaut-Moonbase-Material

This is from a e-newsletter (Futurism). I

Frankly, I don’t think this is a workable scheme. There’s plenty of moon dust to be had, but I doubt the astronauts will be able to do their part in the production process.

Might be hard to transport that much beer up there to create the raw material liquid!

I can see it now, “Mr. President what we have here is beer/urine gap!”

Oh, oh! I forgot to include something important to some hobbyists.

The link employs 3-D printing of the mix to make the building material.

A happy confluence of technologies!

"A pot to piss in".

Remember the old saying, "Too poor to have a pot to piss in"?

People used to sell their piss to be used in tanning leather.

Brings a whole new perspective to the phrase, Piss on it.
New Englanders think this is a Wicked Pissah idea.

Okay, I’ll stop now.
