Agreed. Only time I can see it being needed. Is if we end up with multiple nation colonies. Trade between them may be a reason.

But its far from clear.

But landing pads alone. Seems like a valid reason to consider the tech.

It may also lead to the production of movable regalth sheets. (Assuming structural integrity can be resolved. ) Used to build shelters.

I can see a future possible. Where people lay rebar like grids in the dust. Cover it. Satalite uses sunlight to power lasers to melt the dust. And that generates a sheet of ceramic material used for all lorts of production.
