供人们居住和做试验研究的基地在月球上能够建造起来吗?在现在,这个问题已经不是一个科学幻想了。最近,美国伊利诺斯州斯卡基的施工技术试验室的研究员们完成了一项小规模的混凝土试验工作。配制混凝土试件所选用的材料是由美国国家航空与太空署提供40克月球上的土壤和地球上制作的矾土水泥。把材料混合后,制成一块25毫米立方体试块和三根3 × 15 × 80毫米的小梁。试验结果表明:使用月球上的土壤制作的混凝土试块与使 Can a base for people to live in and do experimental research be built on the moon? This issue is no longer a scientific fantasy. Recently, researchers at the Construction Technology Laboratory in Skachi, Ill., completed a small-scale concrete test. The materials selected for the preparation of concrete specimens were provided by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration for 40 grams of soil on the moon and alumina cement made on Earth. After mixing the materials, a 25 mm cube and three 3 × 15 × 80 mm trabecules were made. The results of the test show that concrete blocks made from soil on the moon are used
