Living beyond Earth is no longer just science fiction -- it's becoming a scientific mission. In a groundbreaking project, NASA and California-based startup Skyeports have teamed up to build a glass dome city on the Moon, designed to support human life.

At the core of the project are large transparent domes, constructed from lunar regolith -- the fine, dusty soil covering the Moon’s surface. This material, rich in minerals, silicates, and rock fragments, will be melted and molded into dome structures capable of generating power, producing oxygen, and supporting plant ecosystems.

According to Dr. Martin Bermudez, CEO of Skyeports, the initiative is part of NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. He explained that the process involves heating moon dust in a microwave furnace. In the Moon’s low gravity, the molten material naturally forms spherical, glass-like structures.

These self-sustaining domes are being engineered not just for survival, but also for long-term human settlement. The futuristic habitat could mark the beginning of permanent lunar colonies, offering both shelter and sustainability far from Earth.

With technology evolving rapidly, this bold vision may soon transform how and where humanity lives -- possibly making the Moon our second home.
