Imagine a glowing scientific hub nestled among craters, powered by solar arrays and 3D-printed lunar soil walls. 🌌 That’s the vision being debated by space experts at the third International Moon Day event in Harbin, where global minds are sketching humanity’s next giant leap.
From Sci-Fi to Reality
Over 200 scientists, engineers, and policymakers from 20+ countries and regions gathered in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province this week. Their mission? To design a sustainable lunar research lab that could host astronauts, run experiments, and even serve as a pit stop for Mars missions. 🚀
Building Blocks of a Moon Base
Key ideas on the table:
Using AI-driven robots to 3D-print structures from moon dust
Underground habitats to shield against radiation 🌠
Modular labs that expand as more nations join
Dr. Elena Rodriguez, a Mars Society engineer, told NewspaperAmigo.com: \"This isn’t about flags—it’s about survival. Every system we test here prepares us for deeper space travel.\"
Why It Matters
The station could launch global collaboration to new heights, with plans shared across borders. As China’s lunar exploration architect Zhang Wei noted: \"The moon belongs to all of us. Its future should be written together.\"
