SCIENTISTS PLAN TO MELT MOON DUST TO LAY LUNAR ROADS

Triangular paving stones’ could be made on the Moon using the Sun's rays and might solve the problems caused by Moon dust

Any human feat of exploration usually requires roads at some point, and that applies even on the Moon. But how can we build lunar roads? By using sunlight and the Moon's dust, which up until now has presented a problem for lunar explorers and equipment.

The low levels of gravity on the Moon means that any movement on its surface kicks up dust, which can take hours to settle. This dust is ultra-fine and abrasive enough to damage equipment if it gets inside it (lunar dust eroded the Apollo missions' spacesuits).
