This is no longer fiction, but real plans of scientists.

Recent research in space technology opens up new horizons for future lunar missions. Scientists have proposed an ambitious project to create a road surface on the Moon by melting lunar soil with lasers.

Experts are studying the possibility of using high-temperature laser equipment for melting lunar regolith — the upper layer of soil covering the Moon's surface. During the experiments, scientists were able to achieve the formation of a solid surface, which can serve as the basis for future lunar roads.

"Our experiments have confirmed that laser equipment can be an effective tool for creating a road surface on the moon," said one of the scientists.

The project involves the creation of a stable infrastructure on the Moon, which will ensure the safety and convenience of movement for future lunar colonists. In addition, strong road surfaces will help ensure more efficient transportation of cargo and equipment on the lunar surface.

However, the project faces a number of technological and financial challenges. At the moment, additional funding is needed to develop and test equipment that can withstand the extreme conditions of the lunar environment.

The success of the project can significantly accelerate the development of lunar colonization, providing a reliable infrastructure for future missions. Experts believe that the creation of a road surface on the Moon will be an important step towards the development of outer space.
