NASA has a bunch of its 3D models up on GitHub ... so if you want to fake your own 3D-printed moon landing, you’ve now got what it takes. Stock up on moondust-colored PLA.

NASA is preparing to 3D print lunar habitats, using advanced robotic construction and lunar soil to build structures that can withstand the Moon’s harsh environment.

In practical terms, it’s a huge model of the Moon measuring 30 feet in diameter, with every square inch of its sphere covered in ultra high-resolution NASA imagery of the lunar landscape.

China is getting ready to 3D-print bricks on the moon using lunar soil, in what could be a huge step toward building a base ...
