The majority of\u00a0water that exists on the planet today is frozen.\u00a0Another\u00a0advantage of the material is that it it\u00a0entirely recyclable, so it could be melted\u00a0down and reset into a new form. It also has a natural resistance to acid and salt, and can endure very low temperatures.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">(<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #339966;\" title=\"DIVA\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dezeen.com\/2016\/01\/07\/scientists-develop-martian-concrete-for-building-architecture-in-outer-space\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[easy-share buttons=&#8221;facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail&#8221; counters=0 native=&#8221;no&#8221; image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/martian1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=12751 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=&#8221;Martian Concrete&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\u00a0<div  style='height:10px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_two_third '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_two_third  flex_column_div first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last  \" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12753 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/martian2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/martian2.jpg 675w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/martian2-142x80.jpg 142w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/martian2-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The creation of a construction material that combines Martian soil with molten sulphur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":12752,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12751"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12751"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18992,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12751\/revisions\/18992"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
