    Should the headline be “discovered” instead of “plan”? Plan makes it sound like this is in work despite discovering how to do that so recently.

      Semantics are secondary to capturing attention with headlines. And it’s still just a minor summary of the whole story.

      To elaborate, some dudes discovered a way to melt moon rocks to make asphalt. More dudes plan to make moon roads with it.
