According to a study published in the journal Materials Today Bio, a protein in human blood, composed of a mixture of urine, sweat, or tears, may form a compound made from the moon or Mars to produce something stronger than ordinary concrete.
The concrete, but much stronger material than conventional concrete, was made by scientists at the University of Manchester, who said, it was made of earth dust and blood, sweat and tears from space.

According to a study published in Materials Today Bio, “a protein derived from human blood, mixed with a mixture of urine, sweat or tears, may combine to form a moon made of moon or Mars to produce something stronger than ordinary concrete, perfectly suited for construction work outside the earth,” says the university. in a statement.

In addition, scientists also say the cost of moving one brick to Mars will be $ 2 million so future Martian colonies will have to use the resources they can find on the planet to build rather than bring their own.
“This is known as the use of in-situ (or ISRU) resources and focuses on the use of open ground and Martian soil (known as regolith) and shallow water,” the statement said.
