Hey quick notice, while Relativity Space is developing the Terran R, that’s not the rocket they’re launching this summer, it’s the Terran1. Terran1 is a small launch vehicle and fully expendable unlike the Terran R which is fully reusable. Both however are fully 3D printed
Thanks Kevin. Something else you might want to consider is Subtractive printing aka CNC Router. It's the complementary tool to Additive Printing. It's every bit as important. More so if the surface quality is important. Together they are far more powerful than either is alone.
I’d like to see a gravel plant built from 3-D printing. This plant will process all kinds of hard rock and perhaps regolith materials into different sized aggregates.
You need Portland cement and water to make concrete. You also need enough air pressure and warmth to keep the water wet. Too cold & it freezes. Frozen concrete is useless. Too little air pressure and it boils which also ruins your concrete.
Nice video but I would argue it is not very balanced. 3D printing is ok for certain products, but due to extremely poor metallic grain structure cannot fullfill all requirements. For example, the SpaceX Starship will still be using cold rolled sheet steel due to its major advantage in strength relative to anything that can be produced by 3D printing. Relativity have yet to prove their rocket systems.
I agree. I... don't really get the hype around 3D printing at all. Still feels like it's a cute gimmick rather than something that can revolutionize manufacturing. I mean, what's the point of constant iteration in outer space? Shouldn't we try to at least attempt to design something well before trying to make it in space? Retooling seems actually easier than creating one complex 'robot' to do it all. I don't know much about engineering principles but I wouldn't be surprised if 3D printing was considered just a niche multi-tool by specialists in the fields of machining/construction. Are we seriously saying that a dedicated tool can be replaced by a printer? Are we going to build everything from crappy materials with this one machine? I don't know.
I'm encouraged by all the ideas, based on what we are already doing on Earth. This idea of printing and manufacturing in space, to me, is key. Once we mine asteroids and space debris, the game changes. Mars dust though....can see it being a big PIA, slowing things down..at first.
Hey Kevin! In one of my theories, i believe we can print a living space station like the Death Star on orbit of the earth. But for that to happen, this station must have the capability to constantly evolve into more complex and giant structures that even prints it's own printing materials. That station thus would be working by A.I. Technologies and improve itself constantly, so it may succeed in transforming in to a giant space structure. The problem with such structure is, it would be like second moon of the earth. Although a smaller version of it. Even so, it would cause a serious problem to move such a giant by the artificial rockets. We can not possibly go to hyperspace (or warp drive) with that, because it would take such an incredible amount of energy. I can not imagine how much raw materials we could need to develop such a giant. As a material, we could possibly use equipments collected from the asteroids. And what use a space station like this can be? Maybe, we can manage to put limitless amount of spacecrafts over there. Or we can use it, to develop giant spacecrafts that can travel in the light speed. Who knows? Possibilities are endless.
better to build a proof of concept on the moon, FIRST. Shake the bugs out in a harsh, less-than-earth gravity environment, without the years-long travel period.
I think that's the actual plan, but Musk has wanted to go to Mars since the start. However, many manufacturing plants including Amazon are going to start building things in orbit and on the Moon.
@mark Harmon I couldn’t find your comment in reply to mine so I hope you see this. I claim no real expertise in microwave power transmission but I do know that the reason they are unaffected by dust is the size of the grains is much smaller than the wavelength of the microwaves. The rectifying antennas on the surface resemble nets and so would allow dust to pass through but only further research as far as I know can determine how big a problem electrostatic attraction might be. By using many solar power sats in low to medium orbits the surface spot size can be minimized and the use of gigahertz frequencies would reduce it further.
I explore mars land and there’s lot of mountains and rocks 🪨 present which can be ready for an underground as well as constructed a solid structures by drilling into these areas as preliminary steps and later more options can be explored. Most of rocks found a sharpen edges that means wind speed is quite high there that’s another source to producing electricity there.
I'm always troubled by very basic things as to how materials function in temperature extremes. In deep space it's roughly 250f minus in the shade and 250f plus in the Sun. Still interesting video. Can we print an oxygen supply?
Known as MOXIE, or the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, the device is extracting small amounts of oxygen from the Martian atmosphere (which is 96 percent carbon dioxide) by running it through an electrical current, a process called electrolysis.
We have been 3D printing on the iss since 2014, OSAM-2 will fly in 2024. Do some research it would make your videos better. Also 3D printed with moon regolith simulate on the iss recently. Hint it wasn't Relativity or SpaceX, or NASA.
Dig level tunnels and caves half way up a mountain at the equator. Energy collected via wind and solar used to force Mars air into tunnel entrance. Generator powered by air moving to exit tunnel used to make and maintain living spaces. Exit tunnel sized so waste materials blow out and down mountain side. Heat caves used as batteries to generate power when wind and solar cannot.
Nowone has bothered testing low g, they have tested 0g and high g Nowone has a clue about the efects of low g, test it on a planet, artificial g is easy on a planet.
The Space Race, question from the "peanut gallery": at around 12:50, I heard you say that we could 3-D print an interstellar vehicle to Jupiter or Saturn. Is it "legal" to call a trip to objects in our solar system an interstellar voyage? Conflicting terminology, don't you think??
ALRIGHT! Now you're talking! There is literally no limit to the applications of 3D printing on Earth, in space and/or the Moon, Mars and beyond. Taking the ideas from a story I once read, how about building starships on the Moon out of silicon extracted from Lunar regolith?
I say yes we can build on the surface but if we can find somewhere on the Martian surface we can live on! But also has a large swath of lava tube space underneath that we can take full advantage of and go full Dwarfs of middle earth style down there that once we open it up down there then seal it off fully contained so we wouldn’t need to use full pressure suits!!! As long as we can match the conditions like earth in the 1st Martian underground city!!!
Whatever we build be assured to have a different system documenting every movement to ensure no other outside force causes any defect hidden within the system beware of this they could be when you think they're not it's just a measure of security it must be done separately from the computer system that makes this stuff it needs to be documented for safety documentation system totally separate maybe even a different transmitting and receiving system like a laser system of some kind or something to send the information back and forth even if it's prearranged kind of like set it there and it'll do everything then let you know when it's done still needs to be watched documented
The amount of energy required to melt or sinter the rock dust is very high. The prepared material medium needs to be exact and clogged nozzles need to be maintained. There's easier construction methods
The trick is to build with the material upon which you stand. In this case Martian regolith. Basalt fibers can be spun from concentrated sunlight on native regolith. Then the fibers can be woven into long fabric tubes. The native regolith can fill the tubes and be stacked and coiled in place and into appropriate shapes for their purpose and beauty. Compressive material as filler. Tensile material as confinement. See Cal-Earth Institute for examples of such homes built here on Earth.
@@tech5298 Basalt is crushed, melted, extruded, spun into fiber and from there woven into fabric. I think the process is similar to fiberglass. Basalt is more durable, stronger and less friable.
Solar rays could be concentrated with mirrors to melt crushed basalt which I have heard said is plentiful on Mars. Where are the mirrors coming from?.....Polish some stainless steel from a borrowed piece of a Starship? An acre sized sheet of mylar draped over a crater with a mobile crucible tracking the focus. As the Scottish would say...I don't know.
Might be better to leave the mirrors in orbit and beam power down by microwaves. That way dust storms never interfere. I believe that this is the best way to provide power for Mars.
We should be sending radio booster satellites between earth and mars. Then, we could communicate very quickly with our rovers, and eventually, our colonists. How about high speed internet? Just imagine, real time communication with our rovers and colonists, and high speed, low latency internet! Astronauts and colonists could interact with social media! No matter the cost, we gotta do it, if we want to explore and colonize mars. Start sending communication satellites evenly spaced.
Any thoughts on 3d printing a nuclear fission booster in space. So just the radioactive feul (highly protected) can be sent up. Remove the risk of a nuclear explosion happening??
So we find some asteroids that have the right elements. Iron, nickel, gold, platinum and 3D print on the spot what ever is necessary in space like you said.

When you make false statements it destroys your future credibility so if you are trying to build this channel be honest and factual. Don’t ruin a good opportunity!!!
Mars has 1/3 as much solar power, not very much water and virtually zero nuclear isotopes that could power reactors. It also has no atmosphere and soil/dust that really toxic to humans. That dust is extremely abrasive to equipment including buildings and space suits.
Why not test 3D print habatats at the south pole for extreme cold for tinsel strength, etc. Expanded ADVANCES for space and planets. A new South Pole CITY, someday for visitors explaining it as the same thing on Mars and the moon. The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war.
We got enough governed cities here on earth I’d rather be free and independent in my own nuclear powered space yacht so if I get tired in one place I can go to another
So the crew is going to land on mars in a perfect habitat with CO2 removal and oxygen and water but then they are going to have to go outside many times risking their lives just to make a house out of dirt? When did dirt become better?
Too much talk about how to pack things, we know it's important to maximize load. No real info on how NASA plans anything, just your own thoughts and ideas and the current issues regarding a good "filament" on a foreign planet/moon.
I don't believe in 3d printing solving the space habitat problem. The reason why ? We have not had any real world tests, that I know of, proving it can be done (like the live Martian simulator project). If that project can demonstrate full Mars independence and continuance, and self construction of a 3d habitat here on Earth with all the worst nature can throw at it, maybe I'll believe it's possible.
3D printing won't last. Major temperature changes would cause quick degradration of such structures. Building a colony would be better with materials that last and aren't as easily affected by temperature changes. Stainless maybe.
Instead of focusing so much on building a colony they should focus more on the spaceships and design them where the spaceships are livable like a yacht
During your final breaths remember my words......You will see no self-sustainable colony on Mars in your lifetime.......What possible reason would anyone want to live on that Craphole for? Mars will never be terraformed and it will never be Earth 2.
hmm nice to dream, but we're not going to expand into space, unless a miracle happens, or till Christ comes back, we can't even take care of ourselves, IF we did expand into space, it would become a warzone. its nice wishful thinking.
NASA is too monolithic to pioneer anything right now. These innovations and breakthroughs for mars habitats will be done by the private sector, starting with SpaceX getting it there. Then a robotics company (for example, Boston Robotics) will provide the remote labor and another company will contribute the 3D printers, etc... NASA, at BEST will just have to get the hell out of the way and let the real explorers get their work done.
Kills me how you keep talking like you are an absolute authority on all things space and space tech and then in the same breath gag on your words and stutter out "I don't know". What anyone with common sense does know is that 3D printing anything is a colossal mistake.
