Being terrestrial for so many thousands of years, humanity is now advancing in the direction being extraterrestrial. Attempts made until were quite promising, like walking on Moon, living stations very long durations miles away from Earth, sending probes to unimaginable distances space and bringing them back etc. In coming decades, it easily predictable that man will spend time Moon lunar shelters periods which cannot be qualified as "short visits." This followed by going Mars other bodies. Such achievements realized thanks research conducted agencies all around world, especially countries who can afford huge amounts money this field. fact, a multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary field where important contributions without having much financial support. an approach, evidently, increase international cooperation field, help increasing technological scientific levels join subject. Designing specially adopted environmental conditions finding ways construction techniques building but researchers attack. A related producing soil simulants Earth making experiments using only situ resource available extracting compounds elements needed human survival Moon. It noted up date 9 have produced number continuously. The last contribution Turkey, with simulant labeled TBG-1 about general information properties are given study.
