At the ongoing 2025 World Manufacturing Convention in Hefei in east China's Anhui Province, a Chinese space-tech lab has unveiled a lunar brick maker that turns moon dust into bricks.As the world's first proof-of-concept machine of this kind, it is designed
Who is going to be the first space brick-layer ?
Sending the working class to space undertakes a new meaning, not just explorative and scientific, but to work.
Space construction workers will be the first truly working class job that leaves this planet.
嫦娥八号 will lay the first bricks on the moon in 2029. So whoever’s sending the commands at mission control for that could be called the first space brick-layer.
Ready for my new life as a belter
Working class in space except it’s socialist and hopeful instead of the usual capitalism in space dystopia.
Star Trek kinda touches on this with the engineering workers on the ships but socialism taking construction workers to space gives me such a vibe to think about.
God, I wish so hard right now that we’d won the Cold War and that the hope and optimism and constant scientific progress of the Space Race era was still upon us.
It’ll come back, it’s the long game. Dark period in history though for sure
Yeah. Born too late to experience the hope of the early first Cold War, born probably too early to witness (hopefully) communism winning the next one, my generation got pretty unlucky.
Someone has to turn it around, might as well be us.

Marco Inaros did nothing wrong
Can we talk about how they kill Marco, and then just do exactly what he wanted? IIRC He wanted an independent Belter nation and an union run(?) Medina Station?
Sometimes it goes like that

My guess is that robots will be doing a lot of the initial work. I can see those Unitree bots being able to do a lot of manual labor in the near future.
