A study at UCSD showed that Martian regolith could be formed by itself into very strong bricks, with application of pressure

This should probably read ...Martian regolith simulant could be... since the experiments involved simulate (I bet) whereas actual Martian regolith may or may not be amenable to this brick making process. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:8085:2460:AAE5:EDC0 (talk) 07:44, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
