Will Space Settlers Live in Fungi Buildings?

The video explores the concept of building cities on Mars and the Moon, highlighting the challenges of transporting building materials from Earth. It introduces the idea of using mycelium, a part of fungi, as a sustainable and lightweight building material. The video discusses research on fungi's ability to survive and grow in space, with promising results from experiments on the International Space Station. Innovative solutions, such as a three-layer dome using mycelium, are proposed for extraterrestrial construction. The research not only aids space exploration but also offers sustainable building solutions for Earth.
