Inside the ESA's Plan To Build the First Moon Base
"We've known for years that the European Space Agency was pursuing
research aimed at developing a lunar base. And the ESA has continued to build on the concept alongside a team of architects-- today, it released a video that shows more specifics about the idea, which would use lunar soil to print a habitat for four astronauts."

I think that kind of work is very interesting. Building a Moon base can look very much pie-in-the-sky, but if you work on different scenarios and look at what kind of in situ resource utilisation you can do, after a while the pie-in-the-sky starts to seem more real.
