The Cheeta P Expert, It's 60

A paper argues we could be using p to construct moon concrete. Concrete is a really common material on earth, held together by a paste of cement and water.

But more water means less strong concrete, but less water means the concrete is hard to mix and pour because it's not pasty. The plasticizer they tested is specifically just like a little bit of urea, not all the things that come in p. It exhibits promising properties as a super plasticize for three dy printing of lunar geopolimers. They don't want to promise anything before doing more research.
