The current issue of New Scientis features a story about the problems of
moodust and benifits of moondust. Particularly interesting is the idea that
a microwave emmitter could turn moondust into bricks. Or presumable any
other kind of shape. Break your spade? No problem! Cover the break in dust
and pass it under the emmiter. Problem fixed! So it apparently doubles as
superglue too.

NASA is also running a $250,000 prize for anyone who can come up with an
efficient way or getting resources (oxygen specifically) out of moon dust -
and for solving the more destructive problems of moondust.

I'm afraid cutting and pasting doesn't work with paper. Magazine is used
literally in this case. Available in any UK newsagent, and some of the more
cosmopolitan US ones. I can buy a copy and scan it in if you like?

Paper? Isn't that some ancient thing like papyrus :)

I appreciate your kind offer, but I'll stop by a newstand myself and
buy the issue, unless of course one of the list members is already an
online subscriber and if they'd be so kind as to clip the text.
