Zach on the Discovery Channel
In this segment of Bad Universe on the Discovery Channel, Zach says,
If you’re in the middle of traveling between galaxies and something breaks on your space ship, you’re going to want to be able to fix it right there.
It may sound like science fiction, but 3D printers in space is a concept that’s actively being researched at research institutions right now!

Congratulations!!! I’m wondering if Makerbot, or 3d printing in general, is entering the path of from-NASA-to-market… Could you shed more light on the space programs research aspect? Do you have more details?
