​It's time to steal the moon - GRU Founder Skyler Chan.

​Last time we toured GRU's new facility talked about the potential for lunar settlement. This time, we're going deeper.

​GRU(https://gru.space/) is inviting the Small Steps & Giant Leaps community back for a technical deep-dive into the construction methods that will actually work in lunar conditions: one-sixth gravity, 300-degree temperature swings, abrasive regolith that destroys machinery, and zero supply runs to Home Depot. You can't pour concrete on the Moon. You can't weld in a vacuum the same way you weld on Earth. You can't use construction equipment designed for atmosphere and 1G. So what do you do? Join us for technical presentations and Q&A on:

• ​Regolith processing and sintering to create structural materials from lunar soil

• ​Additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques for in-situ construction

• ​Robotic systems designed to operate autonomously in extreme environments

• ​Joining and assembly methods that work in vacuum and temperature extremes

• ​Radiation shielding using locally-sourced materials

• ​Testing and validation of construction techniques before they leave Earth

​This is construction engineering meeting planetary science. Come prepared with hard questions about thermal expansion, dust mitigation, and why your favorite Earth-based solution won't work 240,000 miles away.
