1$\begingroup$ Here's what more concrete questions about concrete might look like 1) Mars: Readily usable sulfur for sulfur concrete? 2) What series of devices would you need to deliver to the Martian surface to manufacture concrete entirely in-situ? 3) How thick would a Marscrete structure need to be to provide adequate protection against radiation? 4) Are there relevant resources on the Moon for civil engineering? $\endgroup$– uhohCommented Jul 5, 2018 at 10:24
