Manage episode 479005150 series 3655237
Could the first homes on Mars be 3D-printed? In this episode, we explore the cutting-edge concept of building Martian habitats using autonomous 3D printers and local resources like regolith and basalt.
From NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge to radical designs like the Mars Ice House and MARSHA, we break down how innovators are tackling the challenge of building livable shelters in one of the most hostile environments imaginable.
Can 3D printing unlock sustainable living on the red planet—or is it still sci-fi? We dig into the tech, the materials, and the mission to find out.
