I’m not really sure what this gets you. After all the water in the astronauts’ blood wasn’t created in the body. If you use blood instead of water you’d just need to get more water into the astronauts. Not to mention the Aztec temple dedication level of blood required to make even a small bungalow.

Damn it, now we have techno-bro, libertarian, vampires in space. Is this the plot of the new Blade movie?

Spear their hearts with a silver cross, or garlic-tipped wooden space dagger, and they turn to dust, ready to be made into more spacecrete.

Though you still need to find more blood. Sigh - the circle of techno-bro life.
