Geopolymers from lunar and Martian soil simulants [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2017 Abstract This work discusses the geopolymerization of lunar dust simulant JSC LUNAR-1A and Martian dust simulant JSC MARS-1A. The geopolymerization of JSC LUNAR-1A occurs easily and produces a hard, rock-like, material. The geopolymerization of JSC MARS-1A requires milling to reduce the particle size.

Can plants grow on Mars and the moon: a growth experiment on Mars and moon soil simulants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 When humans will settle on the moon or Mars they will have to eat there. Food may be flown in. An alternative could be to cultivate plants at the site itself, preferably in native soils.
