China seeks to establish a permanent base on the Moon in the future and for this purpose, plans to test 3D printing bricks from lunar soil by means of a robotic "mason." The country is planning to send its Chang'e 8 mission to Moon, sometime in 2028 and this expedition would most likely involve utilizing resources that are available on the lunar surface.
