Basalt fiber is rapidly gaining traction as a versatile geotextile solution. Abundant throughout our lunar neighbor, basalt possesses inherent properties that render its fibers significantly more robust than those produced locally. This remarkable material also exhibits impressive thermal stability, withstanding extreme temperatures with ease. The accompanying schematic illustrates the straightforward equipment setup required to produce both continuous and short basalt fibers on the Moon's surface - a crucial component of the innovative construction methodology being developed for the Moonwards virtual colonies.
