By 2040, habitats on the moon could be constructed from mycelium, a durable fungal material, proposed by astrobiologist Dr. Lynn J. Rothschild. These domed structures might feature three bedrooms and large windows with views of space. Several nations, including China and Russia, are exploring their own plans for lunar settlements, creating uncertainty around property rights on the moon. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty prevents any nation from claiming ownership, while allowing individuals to build and explore extraterrestrial land.
If all goes to plan, by 2040 people may be living on the moon in houses made-essentially-from mushrooms.
Mycelium has low flammability and great acoustic properties. It can be made so that it is highly insulating.
The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 and 2020's Artemis Accords state that no one country can own the moon.
Establishing settlements on extraterrestrial bodies is a bit like claiming land in the former Wild West.
