Massive lava tubes on the moon and Mars could be used by astronauts – CNN
Lava tubes beneath the surface of Mars and the moon could be large enough to hold entire cities and skyscrapers, according to a new study. The caves could provide shelter and create exploration opportunities for astronauts in the future.
(CNN)Lava tubes beneath the surface of Mars and the moon could be, respectively, 100 and 1,000 times wider than lava tubes on Earth, which could provide shelter and create exploration opportunities for astronauts in the future, according to a new study.
