    A tunnel has been discovered on the Moon which could provide a base for colonising astronauts.

    Radar data taken by US space agency NASA 14 years ago has been recently studied with technologies not available at the time.

    And it confirmed the presence of a giant lava tube that could be large enough to house entire bases.

    Temperatures on the Moon plunge as low as 127 °C in daylight and -173 °C at night.

    There is also 150 times the radiation as on the surface of the Earth.

    And there is the hazard of micro-meteors while the lunar surface is covered with a highly abrasive dust that sticks to everything.

    Scientists and engineers have been looking for ways to protect future Moon colonists from these hazards for more than half a century.

    Both thermal insulation and radiation shielding call for habitats to be protected by heaps of soil, burrowing into the sides of craters or deep into the lava plains that all require construction.

    An alternative is to find natural caves that could be modified to meet human needs.

    US space agency NASA  is looking at growing homes for astronauts on the Moon and Mars — using fungi.

    The  concept has been selected for research into providing accommodation for future explorers.

    Some habitats, such as landers and rovers, will be delivered to planetary surfaces. 

    However, the fungi project team is developing technologies that could “grow” habitats on the Moon, Mars, and beyond using fungi and the underground threads that comprise the main part of fungi, known as mycelia. 

    With this development, explorers could travel with a compact habitat built out of lightweight material containing dormant fungi.

     By adding water, fungi can potentially grow around that framework into a fully functional human habitat, while being safely contained to avoid contaminating the environment.

     A team of researchers at the NASA Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley will receive new $2 million USD funding for the habitat research.

    OPS: Fungi in a NASA lab. When given food and water it is capable of growing. It is also fire retardant and an excellent insulating material.
