    Yes launchpads I can see, and short stretches of fortified paths to and from those, but I find it highly unlikely that there will ever be the need to construct roads for overland travel on the moon.

      Agreed. Only time I can see it being needed. Is if we end up with multiple nation colonies. Trade between them may be a reason.

      But its far from clear.

      But landing pads alone. Seems like a valid reason to consider the tech.

      It may also lead to the production of movable regalth sheets. (Assuming structural integrity can be resolved. ) Used to build shelters.

      I can see a future possible. Where people lay rebar like grids in the dust. Cover it. Satalite uses sunlight to power lasers to melt the dust. And that generates a sheet of ceramic material used for all lorts of production.
