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.

What a brilliant video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 3D printing makes a lot of sense. Thank you from Australia

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.
@kelvincash5310
Love your work!!! Can’t wait to hear about the SpaceX starship explosion! Sucks that it happened, was hoping to see that rocket launch this month.

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.

What I’ve been wanting for
@johnrudy9404
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.
@peterballantine8248
Nice!... On the way to "We are legion, we are Bob". :) Can't wait.
@timbrwolf1121
I'd like to see someone attempt laser sintering with just straight up Martian dust.
@DeeegerD
You Sir are a master of the obvious.
@tomedward8652
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.
@stevemickler452
@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.
@princetate1586
Did you do a video on the effect of gravity for settling on mars or any other planetary body?
@RagdyAndy
Good video!!
@United_Wings
Can't wait
@Carlos-bb8bm
Great video
@yootoober2009
Aggregates and sand will be replaced by regolith but where is the binder (cement) gonna come from? Can regolith itself be "melted" by heat or laser or by other system and used as binder?
@neerajshrivastava5867
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.

Endel It's great thank you so much 💪
