@aparrishallison if i understand right, if you're in deep space, ice should be one of the hardest substances around. as you approach absolute zero it has a hardness of 19, twice that of diamond. it would make absolute sense to use as a building material for spaceships or on deep space asteroids

@mcc now i'm imagining a roland emmerich-style film in which an interplanetary disaster forces us to abandon earth and colonize the outer solar system. under pressure to build infrastructure as quickly and expertly as possible, the world's governments have no choice but to put humanity's fate in the hands of a ragtag band of ice hotel architects and traditional inuit builders
