    Default Going to Mars? Need a place to live? Why not 3-D print one?

    A follow-up to a thread I posted a while back. The winner of the contest for 3-D printing a human habitat on Mars has been announced:

    Tell the Elves they can run around town in little green space suits collecting Mars bars for a special project!!!

    It would mean shipping a large tank of printing material to the Moon or Mars but it would be less bulky than transporting buildings.

    Every one knows the planet is made of chocolate and caramel, hence the origins of Mars bars!

    I see no reason to believe that Mars is made of chocolate and caramel. It is made of cheese. Just like the moon.

    When the cow jumped over the moon sufficient dairy was delivered to render the cheese, but Mars is udderly too far for such a stretch. . .

    And so, that is why it is made out of chocolate and caramel...

    You would need one hell of a 3D printer to produce one of those...

    One of the reasons the search for water on the planets for local construction. The Chinese supposedly have developed a method of making concrete from lunar dust and water . . . a 3D printer is all you need when you have the water and the powder for the slurry . . . not a stretch to making a habitat . . .
