[sudo-discuss] Fwd: Another American High Frontier First: 3-D Manufacturing in Space

[Hol Gaskill]

the 3d printing bit?  everything i've seen from the days of yore is either casting or sintering to obtain the stock.  side note - looks like congress is trying to push the manned space program back to the moon rathern than an asteroid.  this makes alot of sense considering how much time we've spent studying the moon and making detailed plans like these.  let's run some lunar regolith simulant through that inductive heater of yours

makes alot more sense than pulling barstock around!  glad to see we're moving forward on this with an ISS demo - i think the second prospective space mining company DSI pins their whole business model on 3D printing the parts close to the ore.

In preparation for a future where parts and tools can be printed on demand in space, NASA and Made in Space Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., have joined to launch equipment for the first 3-D microgravity printing experiment to the International Space Station.
