Lunar regolith is a fine, flour-like, sharp-edged dust that covers almost the entire surface. Since the Apollo missions, it has been considered one of the biggest obstacles for astronauts. These particles stick to everything, damage equipment, and pose a health risk to humans. However, the possibility of using regolith as a building material has also been explored for some time.
