Andrey Rudenko is at it again, and his latest idea is seriously out of this world. Rudenko, who has introduced to us a successful 3D printed castle and viable concepts for a 3D printed house made in just 5 days and plans for a fully 3D printed village, has set his sights high -- to the moon, in fact. Rudenko is working on the development of a printer that would be able to use moon dust to print structures on the moon. While NASA has already told him they currently have no plans for manned missions to the moon, he is hoping some space agency will be interested. His 3D printer would use solar power to sinter moon dust to layer-by-layer build habitable structures, requiring no materials or power source to be sent into space. If not space, though, Rudenko can also use this technology to use Earth-bound dust in deserts, building structures using sand and solar energy in places like Dubai.
