Abstract

[The slime mould is efficient in imitating formation of man-made road networks, where major urban areas are sources of nutrients. We used a similar approach to grow slime mould on a three-dimensional template of Moon to speculate on potential colonization scenarios. The slime mould imitated propagation of colonisation in an exploratory mode, i.e. without any definite targets. Additional transportation hubs/targets were added after the initial network was formed, to imitate the development of colonies in parallel to slime mould growth.]
