Can You Build Homes in Space With Blood?

The video discusses innovative methods for constructing habitats on Mars and the Moon using local materials like regolith. Scientists propose using human blood protein and urea to create a new material called Astrocrete, which could be a cost-effective solution. However, challenges remain, such as the health impact on astronauts and the material's strength on Mars. Alternatives like spider silk and cow protein are considered, but further research is needed. The video highlights the ongoing exploration of sustainable space construction methods.
