Send some of these to the moon and Mars!

Only problem would be like weight of the printer and the materials and getting it into orbit.

Maybe we can print ourselves a space elevator first.

Hell, why not just do the opposite? Go map mars and print a version of it in orbit. MUCH closer. Yeah, let's colonize that! :)

A smart man will throw a lot of money in a 3D Printer Stock or that plastic **** that makes the items.
