Since water is a highly valuable resource on the lunar surface and not readily available, using building materials with high water demand is practically impossible. Geopolymers consist of silico-aluminates in an amorphous to semi-crystalline three-dimensional structure and exhibit an excellent performance. 3D-printing of geopolymers produced from lunar regolith is an interesting option for space in situ habitats.
