Staffordshire company helps future life on the moon.

A Staffordshire company has turned Moon dust into "solid pellets", which could pave the way to produce bricks on the Moon's surface.

Scientific consultancy firm Lucideon, said the process involved firing electricity directly at the dust, which solidified it. 

The innovation would help to "lay the foundations for humanity's next giant leap, into space” 

The research was carried out as part of a programme funded by the European Space Agency and builds on decades of the region's expertise in ceramics to transform its traditional knowledge into advanced materials innovation.
