Lego made bricks out of meteorite dust and they're on display at select stores

Lego has collaborated with the European Space Agency (ESA) to create Lego bricks using actual meteorite dust, which are currently on display at select Lego stores until September 20. This initiative aims to explore the potential use of moondust as a building material for lunar structures, reducing the need to transport building materials from Earth to the Moon. The project serves as a proof of concept for utilizing lunar regolith, the layer of rock and mineral deposits on the Moon's surface, for construction purposes. ESA scientists created a regolith substitute by grinding an ancient meteorite and using the resulting dust to 3D print the Lego pieces. These "space bricks" are designed to mimic regular Lego bricks and come in a space gray color. The collaboration between Lego and ESA highlights the innovative approaches being explored for future lunar missions, including the establishment of a permanent human outpost on the Moon by the 2030s.
