This innovative approach involves in-situ melting of lunar glass compounds and the creation of a large spherical shell structure, representing a significant departure from current habitat construction methods. Traditional construction methods, such as using prefabricated parts, 3-D printing, inflatable systems, and complex assembly, are lab...
