With enough energy, one can sinter the regolith together. Using water would be ridiciously expensive, unless some meaningful water reservoirs on the moon are found or an easy way to extract the very little existing water.
- aurizon 4y agoYes, ground regolith and other local minerals might be available to mine - grind to powder, press into a shape(s) that can be Lego'd into the tunnel you want. Sintered blocks are very strong in compression and 1-2 layers will allow long buildings to be made in the lava tubes or on the surface. crushed regolith will serve as insulating berms that embed structures.
