If humans are ever going to live beyond Earth, they'll need to construct habitats. But transporting enough industrial material to create livable spaces would be incredibly challenging and expensive.

Sustainable habitats could be built in space without having to bring materials from Earth, an international team of researchers has shown.

Algae grown under Mars-like conditions could make bioplastic building materials for structures to harbor life in space.
