Looking for opinions on which is best for lunar construction, cast
basalt or concrete.

Concrete need hydrogen imports, but cast basalt can be made
completely with indigineous materials.

I don't know too much about cast basalt. Can anyone fill me in. How
does it compare to concrete as a structural material? Could
structural rebar be inserted into the cast product, like it is used
in concrete?

Thanks for your info and opinions.
