The idea that 3D printing is space is becoming an integral part of experiments, recreation, and innovative exploration is truly remarkable. Within such a short time of becoming widely used not only has it been used in multiple industries every day seems to be creating a new stream and way of doing things never thought possible 20 years ago.

In my experience I am brand new to this type of technology. Therefore, one of my many options to start learning about new things is to YouTube and watch a video about it. Visually seeing how things work and ways in which our world is expanding I tend to better understand it. The idea that printing 3D objects on earth is just being understood let alone sending a machine up to space. In this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy11alCPe60 the idea that sending a machine up to space in order to provide astronauts the tools to build other items they might needs right away instead of waiting for the resupply spacecrafts to arrive. They can build tools and other objects needed to help with the mission. I really could understand the idea that this concept would take off –no pun intended –to space because that is one of the first industries that technology tries to expand into and almost tests before being open to the public. Constantly forward thinking.
Would love to hear about what types of things could be printed up in Space?
