While NASA has its sights set on Mars, the European Space Agency is looking a little closer to home.
Starting in the 2020s, ESA wants to send humans back to the moon and use robots to build an international village at the lunar south pole. That village will serve as a base to launch longer missions to places like Mars, and might even serve as a tourist destination for commercial spaceflight companies.
ESA thinks we can use robots controlled by telepresence to build the infrastructure of the village, and we could use the resources that are already on the moon to do it. Robots could use lunar soil to build shelter walls, according to a video from ESA. Lunar soil mixed with magnesium oxide and salt could be used to 3-D print materials.
