Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. 

Millions of rubber gloves end up in incineration or landfill, but researchers at the Danish university, Aarhus University, have now developed a technology that can turn the used gloves into a way to capture CO₂. This offers a potential alternative to oil-dependent solutions, according to Simon Kildahl, who is leading the project.
