1
00:00:03,019 --> 00:00:04,044
I everybody and

2
00:00:04,044 --> 00:00:09,137
welcome to our live Q&A discussion with
nasa and made a space regarding

3
00:00:10,037 --> 00:00:13,226
three-person space my name's Adam and
I'm

4
00:00:13,559 --> 00:00:16,085
the space physics reporter here at Wired
Science

5
00:00:16,085 --> 00:00:21,121
any pupil California and we've got that
much people here who are ready to take

6
00:00:22,021 --> 00:00:22,028
your

7
00:00:22,091 --> 00:00:27,107
questions and this discussion so why
don't we go ahead and

8
00:00:28,007 --> 00:00:31,033
and introduce ourselves and we'll start
over on the left

9
00:00:31,033 --> 00:00:35,087
I most box with their furniture want to
tell us name and and what you

10
00:00:35,087 --> 00:00:39,114
hi I'm on the chart a and I work for
nasa space technology Mission

11
00:00:40,014 --> 00:00:40,022
Directorate

12
00:00:40,094 --> 00:00:43,169
and I am one of my principal
investigators first best space

13
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:44,153
technology

14
00:00:45,053 --> 00:00:48,089
responsible for advanced manufacturing
so we're

15
00:00:48,089 --> 00:00:53,125
rents cited about heart go quite yet and
then we've got to keep on

16
00:00:54,025 --> 00:01:00,116
sorry about that and of you'll be
hearing from Nikki soon and

17
00:01:01,016 --> 00:01:05,064
chandler's almost from a birthday about
was great effort that we will be

18
00:01:05,064 --> 00:01:05,153
launching

19
00:01:06,053 --> 00:01:09,110
on the summer 2014 all at all

20
00:01:10,001 --> 00:01:13,630
treat a I work for nasa space technology
Mission Directorate

21
00:01:13,729 --> 00:01:17,793
and I am 10 I am principal investigators
first best space technology

22
00:01:18,369 --> 00:01:21,094
responsible for expanding not sure I am
though we're

23
00:01:21,094 --> 00:01:26,108
cited our partner for

24
00:01:27,008 --> 00:01:31,083
sorry about that I

25
00:01:31,083 --> 00:01:34,108
you'll be hearing from Nikki's an
admission I

26
00:01:35,008 --> 00:01:39,042
ask her space about it's great effort
that we will be launching

27
00:01:39,042 --> 00:01:43,381
on the summer 2014 on church

28
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:49,049
fast out struck first

29
00:01:49,049 --> 00:01:53,050
space technology or act right

30
00:01:53,059 --> 00:02:00,059
oh yeah signing not our for West

31
00:02:01,059 --> 00:02:04,071
they know who I am I

32
00:02:04,071 --> 00:02:10,162
joke asking fernbank

33
00:02:11,062 --> 00:02:14,068
of che on the summer transport as

34
00:02:14,068 --> 00:02:18,094
such fast

35
00:02:18,094 --> 00:02:23,125
first scotch

36
00:02:24,025 --> 00:02:31,025
I track for I

37
00:02:35,083 --> 00:02:38,109
for she

38
00:02:39,009 --> 00:02:42,098
suck

39
00:02:42,098 --> 00:02:45,120
Park Koch side

40
00:02:46,002 --> 00:02:49,047
mom anything you have to just send a
message everything

41
00:02:49,065 --> 00:02:53,124
I don't have any opal alright well

42
00:02:53,709 --> 00:02:58,036
a we can land a rover on Mars but
sometimes obstetrical care with a

43
00:02:58,036 --> 00:03:02,135
I'm sorry about that there was a a
little its grip on our site

44
00:03:02,459 --> 00:03:05,053
I'm Jimmy keep going with

45
00:03:05,053 --> 00:03:08,067
with my friends tell us a bit about
yourself share

46
00:03:08,067 --> 00:03:11,122
an hour tried only say it once here a

47
00:03:12,022 --> 00:03:15,097
are you get every think that's good
alright see I'm

48
00:03:15,097 --> 00:03:18,148
I Mike Chen I am what color banners made
in space

49
00:03:19,048 --> 00:03:22,089
I am helped to found the company in 2010

50
00:03:22,089 --> 00:03:25,104
and I wear that where basically making
the first

51
00:03:26,004 --> 00:03:29,087
3d printer that will be going to space
in manufacturing first objects

52
00:03:29,087 --> 00:03:34,108
are the service in the air later this
year call

53
00:03:35,008 --> 00:03:39,008
and Nikki

54
00:03:39,008 --> 00:03:44,002
I a rhyme make you work either on the
math project manager

55
00:03:44,002 --> 00:03:47,088
for their 3d printing and theory giss
technology demonstration

56
00:03:48,006 --> 00:03:53,265
as many mentioned it'll be watching on
space explorer in August anti-yeltsin 14

57
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:54,000
anger barry

58
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,239
it is be the first 3d printer ever and
launched into space

59
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:01,045
and black it's great riding guide to be

60
00:04:01,045 --> 00:04:06,194
excellent I and just a reminder for
anybody who's watching you can now

61
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:11,033
go to our Google+ Kate there should be a
link below this screen and ask us any

62
00:04:11,033 --> 00:04:12,101
questions during the Q&A will try and

63
00:04:13,001 --> 00:04:16,043
field as many of them as we can from
that and groupware

64
00:04:16,043 --> 00:04:20,242
I maybe to start off with just say get
the ball rolling here

65
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:23,077
I'm 3d printers are really cool

66
00:04:23,077 --> 00:04:28,126
there upgrade fantastic new technology I
but maybe Mike you wanna start it up and

67
00:04:28,819 --> 00:04:28,891
tell us

68
00:04:29,539 --> 00:04:33,591
why I am weak we would want to send one
into space yeah it's a it's a great

69
00:04:34,059 --> 00:04:34,065
question

70
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:37,136
and really even talk about it for the
whole time here but

71
00:04:38,036 --> 00:04:41,545
as to why wife and it really better
space on

72
00:04:41,869 --> 00:04:45,877
you never really like originally I years
ago and

73
00:04:45,949 --> 00:04:48,099
company started the idea actually arose

74
00:04:48,099 --> 00:04:51,518
from talking to you Danbury that three
time after not

75
00:04:52,409 --> 00:04:55,068
and he's been up there a few times and
I'm

76
00:04:55,068 --> 00:04:58,757
claim a 3d printers down here and really
just observing

77
00:04:59,369 --> 00:05:02,385
how useful it would be to be able to
have

78
00:05:02,529 --> 00:05:05,621
objects clinton to space without
actually having to watch them

79
00:05:06,449 --> 00:05:10,453
and so at the end of the day that's
really what it boils down to is it boils

80
00:05:10,849 --> 00:05:10,920
down to

81
00:05:11,559 --> 00:05:14,584
being able to actually put objects in
space without

82
00:05:14,809 --> 00:05:17,893
having to deal with that slow expensive
complex

83
00:05:18,649 --> 00:05:21,716
risky business rockets what if you could
just put a file

84
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:27,337
directly on the computer and printer in
space minutes later so it'd be something

85
00:05:27,499 --> 00:05:27,596
they would use

86
00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:32,055
a maybe like in an emergency situation
or if there was something that was going

87
00:05:32,055 --> 00:05:34,724
to run a public space station

88
00:05:35,219 --> 00:05:38,024
you absolutely would I'm the one thing
that we

89
00:05:38,024 --> 00:05:41,029
we've looked at a lot is how we would be
able to be ready for situations like

90
00:05:41,074 --> 00:05:41,963
that

91
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:46,099
they are whenever favorite for example
the party apollo thirteen example

92
00:05:46,099 --> 00:05:50,678
where they had to you basically a square
peg into a round hole in our to save

93
00:05:51,569 --> 00:05:56,046
yes not lives and they were able to rate
together a solution just had a base

94
00:05:56,046 --> 00:05:59,095
what they had up there at the time is
very fortunate

95
00:05:59,509 --> 00:06:02,574
I'm we actually have whatever interns
use that

96
00:06:03,159 --> 00:06:07,086
Autodesk software to cada a solution it
would also work in the parking situation

97
00:06:07,086 --> 00:06:08,105
printed

98
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:11,888
on why the printers in our lab and did
the whole thing into

99
00:06:11,969 --> 00:06:15,083
in this matter hours at now he's hired
obviously

100
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:18,222
I'm but yeah I could definitely be used
for emergency situations but there's

101
00:06:18,969 --> 00:06:19,981
really a whole

102
00:06:20,089 --> 00:06:23,162
wide range other things you can use it
for science experiments

103
00:06:23,819 --> 00:06:28,826
i hating space exploration commercial
satellite projects israeli

104
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:32,008
the list just goes on a I'm wondering

105
00:06:32,008 --> 00:06:35,317
perennial you actually haven't this I
love this partnership

106
00:06:35,389 --> 00:06:39,003
I get started who reached out to whose
idea was it

107
00:06:39,003 --> 00:06:43,402
but a 3d printer in space

108
00:06:43,699 --> 00:06:46,786
on yet Nikki and I want to talk a little
bit about that now there's been some

109
00:06:47,569 --> 00:06:48,049
work going on

110
00:06:48,049 --> 00:06:52,086
at Marshall for a while now I since
actually even before we

111
00:06:52,086 --> 00:06:55,111
began developing this printer a
Marshalls really been

112
00:06:56,011 --> 00:06:59,250
ahead of the game on that and so that's
why we're working with marcia maybe

113
00:06:59,349 --> 00:07:00,392
Nikki wants to talk about

114
00:07:00,779 --> 00:07:03,788
that our yes I'd be happy to you

115
00:07:03,869 --> 00:07:06,888
so actually in 1999 and one of our

116
00:07:07,059 --> 00:07:10,107
prince will medicare here can keeper
actually flew at 3d printer

117
00:07:10,539 --> 00:07:14,074
mind at repair bike lights
affectionately known as the vomit comet

118
00:07:14,074 --> 00:07:18,303
and detest act bentsen for Estes feels
like it's been a long time coming

119
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:22,015
and as as you know and space station at
BN has been built for

120
00:07:22,429 --> 00:07:25,486
for quite some time in and out we've
been excited about getting this up as an

121
00:07:25,999 --> 00:07:27,043
actual payload

122
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:30,439
and mainstay for nafta have flown
espiritu the pair by

123
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:34,003
flights to you test in microgravity just
to make sure that the prince would

124
00:07:34,003 --> 00:07:35,152
actually be at Wild

125
00:07:35,449 --> 00:07:38,496
earth quality prints like we do on the
ground but you can only get the short

126
00:07:38,919 --> 00:07:39,991
spurts and microgravity

127
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,675
when you're on the parabolic flight so
this will be the first time and space we

128
00:07:43,999 --> 00:07:46,004
can actually complete an entire print

129
00:07:46,499 --> 00:07:50,077
and in microgravity so that's why we
caught a technology demonstration at the

130
00:07:50,077 --> 00:07:51,152
very first step to ensure that

131
00:07:52,052 --> 00:07:55,851
in the microgravity environment at the
process is the same there are no

132
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:57,353
surprises

133
00:07:57,659 --> 00:08:00,684
and that that we changed and the quality
of the print

134
00:08:00,909 --> 00:08:04,003
and we feel quite confident that that
will be I it will be equitable do what

135
00:08:04,003 --> 00:08:05,072
we do on the ground

136
00:08:05,369 --> 00:08:08,430
based on the parabolic flights yes we've
been doing this for quite some time

137
00:08:08,979 --> 00:08:12,047
and we feel like there are many many
uses a quick emergency case comes up

138
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:15,703
like that kind of the exciting case but
there's also the standard every day

139
00:08:16,099 --> 00:08:20,128
and people after they bakery will talk
sometimes a battle losing a toll on

140
00:08:20,389 --> 00:08:21,421
space station you know what

141
00:08:21,709 --> 00:08:24,714
comments like how could you leave
something it's the space station where

142
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:25,793
could it possibly go

143
00:08:26,099 --> 00:08:28,193
but if you're like me have lived in a
house for a few years back of it if he

144
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:30,081
got my copy all seeking

145
00:08:30,459 --> 00:08:33,061
easily leads things and it contained
aren't and

146
00:08:33,061 --> 00:08:37,087
small parts especially tender flight of
English sect and by the filters

147
00:08:37,087 --> 00:08:40,296
you can imagine it home I drop something
also the floor I know where to look for

148
00:08:41,079 --> 00:08:42,150
it an idiot lights off

149
00:08:42,789 --> 00:08:47,047
on space station then its activities
filters never to be seen again so

150
00:08:47,047 --> 00:08:50,141
is water loss parts broken parts that
they have to find multiple spares

151
00:08:51,041 --> 00:08:55,390
order that take up a lot a mass and so
there are a lot of even everyday type

152
00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:59,074
activities with science in payloads and
crew tools

153
00:08:59,074 --> 00:09:02,533
and things like that that this will be a
great capability for

154
00:09:03,199 --> 00:09:07,043
I can I am 30 prep project as a as a

155
00:09:07,043 --> 00:09:12,066
great example of cooperation between
nasa mission directorate's as well

156
00:09:12,066 --> 00:09:16,475
as industry um this is a collaboration
between

157
00:09:17,069 --> 00:09:21,005
a space technician director as well as
our human exploration operations Mission

158
00:09:21,005 --> 00:09:21,654
Directorate

159
00:09:22,149 --> 00:09:25,192
which houses are I S s and our a yes

160
00:09:25,579 --> 00:09:28,616
programs which are also investing in Aus
and

161
00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:32,013
made in space um initial work out with
our

162
00:09:32,589 --> 00:09:37,592
quite Opportunity Program but they also
have a reset contract under our SBIR

163
00:09:37,889 --> 00:09:39,953
program so it's a really great example

164
00:09:40,529 --> 00:09:44,597
up how nasa comes together with industry
and %uh something really great

165
00:09:45,209 --> 00:09:49,251
both on the technology side and
operations side

166
00:09:49,629 --> 00:09:52,636
or hour and nikki is that a is that a
3d-printed

167
00:09:52,699 --> 00:09:57,012
first got here and there yes I wanted to
cut a kinda show apart here that it may

168
00:09:57,012 --> 00:09:58,100
not look super exciting and it

169
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,043
people say what can you print what can
you do you think and something like this

170
00:10:02,043 --> 00:10:06,008
at it's kinda like unit it doesn't look
that exciting person but it is and this

171
00:10:06,008 --> 00:10:07,070
for example is a part

172
00:10:08,042 --> 00:10:12,461
with their filter extraction tool for
believe that we have on space station

173
00:10:12,839 --> 00:10:16,912
and a couple years ago it got lost on
space station and the filters had

174
00:10:17,569 --> 00:10:20,062
expired the certification for using at
facility

175
00:10:20,062 --> 00:10:23,086
and the crew can't use that facility
there are several of our science

176
00:10:23,086 --> 00:10:26,173
payloads I think it was 6-for-8 my aunts
they had to wait for that the next watch

177
00:10:27,073 --> 00:10:28,622
to launch at this little

178
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:32,353
filter extraction tool we literally
could have uplink this piled space

179
00:10:33,019 --> 00:10:33,081
station

180
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:36,097
and and had it printed with and saying
hour turnaround

181
00:10:36,097 --> 00:10:39,146
you can imagine the number hours and
days that

182
00:10:40,019 --> 00:10:43,036
that we were down at fidelity the
science that we didn't get to do

183
00:10:43,189 --> 00:10:46,054
i'm for lack of having this kind of
capability so I just wanted to show this

184
00:10:46,054 --> 00:10:47,061
is just gonna stand

185
00:10:47,061 --> 00:10:50,075
some fun parts and real-life real use

186
00:10:50,075 --> 00:10:53,110
at parts that we can get and that
they're quite quickly and in another

187
00:10:54,001 --> 00:10:55,014
reason we think act

188
00:10:55,023 --> 00:10:59,097
astronauts are pretty excited yeah like
you said it I guess it so it is kinda

189
00:10:59,097 --> 00:11:00,098
mundane but

190
00:11:00,098 --> 00:11:03,161
up really necessary

191
00:11:04,061 --> 00:11:08,086
exactly yeah on so we have to ask
questions here

192
00:11:08,086 --> 00:11:11,675
RAM are audience the first one is prime
fernando sanchez

193
00:11:12,449 --> 00:11:15,507
I D Evan I guess this is something that
probably everybody's wondering

194
00:11:16,029 --> 00:11:20,035
I may be like you can talk about this
book how does not having gravity

195
00:11:20,035 --> 00:11:23,122
affect 3d great thing actually like it
does it make it easier or harder what it

196
00:11:24,022 --> 00:11:25,641
what are the challenges

197
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:30,049
yeah yes definitely a common question
and I'll try to stay as much a bit

198
00:11:30,049 --> 00:11:33,131
like and without saying certain things
between we are actually allowed to speak

199
00:11:34,031 --> 00:11:35,240
about but

200
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,005
I mean really when we when we first
started the company the idea was

201
00:11:39,005 --> 00:11:42,067
I'll actually not too create our own 3d
printer

202
00:11:43,012 --> 00:11:46,591
we really we saw the benefit of having a
3d printer in space

203
00:11:46,699 --> 00:11:48,793
if there's a lot of people watching at
work familiar with but the concept is

204
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:50,732
Shapeways a service-based

205
00:11:51,569 --> 00:11:55,061
reprinting businesses we just really
thought wow it really

206
00:11:55,061 --> 00:11:58,155
help further space exploration if we had
a 3d printer in space

207
00:11:59,055 --> 00:12:02,964
and so we started getting as many sorter
are already available

208
00:12:03,459 --> 00:12:06,099
repairs that we could get commercial off
the shelf and flying them on this

209
00:12:06,099 --> 00:12:09,858
bombing comments parabolic flights that
nicky was talking about

210
00:12:10,749 --> 00:12:13,092
and you know be between our engineers
there is a lot of debate in the

211
00:12:13,092 --> 00:12:15,168
beginning it was like what some people
thought that would require

212
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:20,105
too much tweaking people thought they
would but we actually found out that I'm

213
00:12:21,005 --> 00:12:25,037
none of them where right and what you
really

214
00:12:25,037 --> 00:12:28,105
find out at the end of the day is
there's yes somewhere around like 15 to

215
00:12:29,005 --> 00:12:29,062
20

216
00:12:29,062 --> 00:12:33,068
little things that you you have to
change I'm in order to make 3d printing

217
00:12:33,068 --> 00:12:33,112
work

218
00:12:34,012 --> 00:12:37,271
in space as some the easy ones to sort
out

219
00:12:37,379 --> 00:12:41,074
visualize I'm would be me know that the
person at the control

220
00:12:41,074 --> 00:12:44,130
that you would need is is a great
example I'm there these these pieces

221
00:12:45,003 --> 00:12:47,064
these parts are very highly precise

222
00:12:47,091 --> 00:12:51,140
I haven't had manufactured in it it's
something of a been a little bit can be

223
00:12:51,959 --> 00:12:56,011
week inside all without having the force
of gravity two kinda hope things in

224
00:12:56,011 --> 00:12:57,062
place it's actually

225
00:12:57,062 --> 00:13:01,091
on can you really surprising I how bad
things can really get

226
00:13:01,649 --> 00:13:04,087
you know that's just just one other
things and in addition to

227
00:13:04,087 --> 00:13:07,095
I'm the gravity there's a whole bunch of
other yep that's all is well there's

228
00:13:08,067 --> 00:13:09,606
safety issues

229
00:13:10,209 --> 00:13:14,270
you know commercial off-the-shelf
requires met harmful toxic gases that

230
00:13:14,819 --> 00:13:15,863
you can't have up there so

231
00:13:16,259 --> 00:13:19,278
we never learning a over the years
through really

232
00:13:19,449 --> 00:13:23,006
I'm party rockin and part just are
amazing

233
00:13:23,006 --> 00:13:26,475
engineering team that there's all these
changes we had to make everything from

234
00:13:26,529 --> 00:13:29,529
the gravity to the safety to that of
casting

235
00:13:29,529 --> 00:13:32,576
and I'm when it up having to develop our
own

236
00:13:32,999 --> 00:13:36,008
3d printer from ground up to work in
space now we joke that we knew that we

237
00:13:36,899 --> 00:13:38,985
had to be that we probably might have
even started getting this

238
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:44,037
Arctic I but at work really excited to
connect

239
00:13:44,037 --> 00:13:47,626
cool net ion ABS their

240
00:13:47,959 --> 00:13:50,965
manager maybe you could talk to this
about what what exactly

241
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,641
astronauts would potentially be
pertinent space like me sonic use

242
00:13:55,379 --> 00:13:58,405
then he looked like he was mad classic
is that sorted when you're thinking it

243
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:00,062
would be printing and stay said

244
00:14:00,062 --> 00:14:03,381
I how often would you want to use it is
this sort of like an everyday

245
00:14:03,939 --> 00:14:07,008
thank you you have guessed right to
using for making our attack came

246
00:14:07,008 --> 00:14:10,065
oMG we received up to left love

247
00:14:11,037 --> 00:14:16,006
a usual tolls and parks stop after talks
with use or they may need

248
00:14:16,339 --> 00:14:19,347
resupply always received a list of 13

249
00:14:20,139 --> 00:14:25,011
so I to start teen will do a total of 21
parents

250
00:14:25,011 --> 00:14:28,930
caught that will me uploaded on the
printer

251
00:14:29,029 --> 00:14:33,055
prior to watch on the ballot Nikki talk
a little bit about the exact

252
00:14:33,055 --> 00:14:36,006
up polls in part opera and the material

253
00:14:36,006 --> 00:14:39,965
that Williams your nature tho and

254
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:43,072
actually I will do our first three
different for me that 21 in

255
00:14:43,072 --> 00:14:45,671
we'll start with some some kind of thing
that might look kinda boring are

256
00:14:46,319 --> 00:14:49,357
maintaining our tensile specimens and
and and strain

257
00:14:49,699 --> 00:14:52,785
as best man so we can test is on the
ground they were made by and 18 referred

258
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:56,036
to you that the crew tools we've been
working closely with their

259
00:14:56,036 --> 00:15:00,245
Aiba the intramolecular and tools of its
damage at its

260
00:15:00,569 --> 00:15:03,601
a thinner that supports that astronauts
to get a list of things that were kinda

261
00:15:03,889 --> 00:15:03,957
day

262
00:15:04,569 --> 00:15:07,583
no-brainers where would you start and I
did want to point out

263
00:15:07,709 --> 00:15:10,074
and you can see this when we first start
this is the feedstock

264
00:15:10,074 --> 00:15:13,161
so it looks very similar to wait and you
with the icon your weedeater reject what

265
00:15:14,061 --> 00:15:16,064
about your readers ball that's how it
starts

266
00:15:16,091 --> 00:15:19,104
and their elite tier three categories
are things you can print

267
00:15:20,004 --> 00:15:23,233
first already met the most common things
that we have to watch right any cost a

268
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:24,003
lot to watch

269
00:15:24,003 --> 00:15:27,052
things and a spate we have to fly the
spares for the parts they really need

270
00:15:27,079 --> 00:15:31,748
multiple ranches and at it all kinds
impaired sample containers Inc

271
00:15:32,459 --> 00:15:36,085
and little at clips and type things that
don't super exciting but we have to pack

272
00:15:36,085 --> 00:15:39,804
you know ten or twelve spares at least
each other I don't your math adds up

273
00:15:40,569 --> 00:15:40,657
quickly

274
00:15:41,449 --> 00:15:44,454
but there's a whole nother Ag category
have to think about as well

275
00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:48,048
and that is a lot of things that we
designed to find space and you really

276
00:15:48,048 --> 00:15:48,467
have to

277
00:15:48,899 --> 00:15:52,965
the binos around the watch Lance so the
structure that you build it has to be

278
00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:57,049
and quite robust to survive actual aids
and watch

279
00:15:57,049 --> 00:16:01,368
if you can actually designed these parts
in space is where I get really excited

280
00:16:01,809 --> 00:16:04,866
and it's really a whole mentality shared
and you can design completely

281
00:16:05,379 --> 00:16:06,003
differently

282
00:16:06,003 --> 00:16:09,342
and so even things like at mount if
you've heard much about to keep stats

283
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:14,024
the Manus at serbian might stand a fine
stack quite a few from space station now

284
00:16:14,024 --> 00:16:18,048
and with nanotechnology you can fit a
lot and then sat in as all sectors

285
00:16:18,048 --> 00:16:21,097
so you can do science you can do
communications you can do you at

286
00:16:21,097 --> 00:16:24,386
let their at things with these cute at
I'm if you could actually print

287
00:16:25,259 --> 00:16:29,311
the structure in space and instead
watching and have to design it to me to

288
00:16:29,779 --> 00:16:30,073
watch leads

289
00:16:30,073 --> 00:16:33,742
and you can come much space that that
actually at opens up for you

290
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:36,497
so there are things all sorts things
were just now really starting a week and

291
00:16:37,379 --> 00:16:38,475
we need innovative ideas am

292
00:16:39,339 --> 00:16:42,048
nasa is is making calls in creating
challenges

293
00:16:42,048 --> 00:16:45,066
I'm to get innovative ideas for how
would you designed something differently

294
00:16:45,066 --> 00:16:45,149
in space

295
00:16:46,049 --> 00:16:49,368
I don't have my little ranch here with
me right now but for example

296
00:16:49,809 --> 00:16:52,842
I got home depot in a fire engine in
everybody has a and

297
00:16:53,139 --> 00:16:57,017
image in a metal ranch to get from Home
Depot but if I could design that for

298
00:16:57,017 --> 00:17:00,006
from application on space station around
noon on mars

299
00:17:00,006 --> 00:17:03,101
I'm I could design it differently am on
a 3d printer it might look flatter it

300
00:17:04,055 --> 00:17:04,148
might look at my

301
00:17:05,048 --> 00:17:08,907
a joke it might look kinda like that the
tools that my kids played with whenever

302
00:17:09,339 --> 00:17:12,005
real little toddlers a lil tool sets
with the Hammers in the trenches

303
00:17:12,005 --> 00:17:16,052
may be flatter and any different shape
but it might work just fine for what we

304
00:17:16,097 --> 00:17:16,163
need

305
00:17:17,063 --> 00:17:20,111
and this is really important space
station with extended like the space

306
00:17:21,011 --> 00:17:24,440
station and we have a lot things that
are running out a certification and and

307
00:17:24,539 --> 00:17:25,098
things that we need to iraq

308
00:17:25,098 --> 00:17:28,159
to fly at but its absolutely and I can't
stress this in at

309
00:17:29,059 --> 00:17:33,125
it's a critical technology and
capability if ur gonna go to norm arstan

310
00:17:34,025 --> 00:17:38,025
asteroid work really going to explore
our solar system

311
00:17:38,025 --> 00:17:42,038
this is something we can not be reliant
I and things watching the ground every

312
00:17:42,038 --> 00:17:43,077
time we need a new tool

313
00:17:43,077 --> 00:17:46,736
and we need are asked not to be able to
design what they need

314
00:17:47,429 --> 00:17:50,088
I'm kinda Micah and MacGyver on the
ghetto so at

315
00:17:50,088 --> 00:17:53,152
there's what upon and I'd add to that ok

316
00:17:54,052 --> 00:17:57,071
we like to think of it as on-demand
living

317
00:17:57,539 --> 00:18:02,034
so if you think about that we may not
can think about what the astronauts may

318
00:18:02,034 --> 00:18:03,087
need a particular moment but

319
00:18:03,087 --> 00:18:06,122
having the capability to be able to
print what

320
00:18:07,022 --> 00:18:10,046
a meeting as well be able to design what
they mean

321
00:18:10,046 --> 00:18:13,385
changes the whole logistical game 0 %uh

322
00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:17,001
SpaceX or a shed I'm just sad

323
00:18:17,001 --> 00:18:20,006
back all Nikki said this runner is a FTM

324
00:18:20,051 --> 00:18:23,094
modified FDM so that means we'll be
bringing past it

325
00:18:23,094 --> 00:18:26,803
um initially all and then we'll also

326
00:18:27,649 --> 00:18:31,649
I'll why up optical scanner

327
00:18:31,649 --> 00:18:36,687
%uh eventually that will allow us to
inspect apart after we printed

328
00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:41,055
or outlet are all those cases they show
it to you as are all

329
00:18:41,289 --> 00:18:44,328
3d printed in are those all things
better gonna be like

330
00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:48,021
things that printer that's going up on
the space station could do

331
00:18:48,021 --> 00:18:52,038
absolutely and yes and no. if make
adequate talk with ABS plastic but it's

332
00:18:52,038 --> 00:18:55,006
what your Legos or may not have said
that steady comin at a common

333
00:18:55,006 --> 00:18:55,085
terminology like

334
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:59,101
throughout the yes you know that sample
containers you add with you print

335
00:19:00,001 --> 00:19:00,094
multiple

336
00:19:00,094 --> 00:19:03,102
get parts that fit together I got a lot
more fun parts at back in the lab

337
00:19:04,074 --> 00:19:05,172
echoecho but I don't have my with me

338
00:19:06,072 --> 00:19:10,126
and little clips and you know things
like at your favorite parts and you can

339
00:19:11,026 --> 00:19:14,032
also get very creative you can actually
build things and you

340
00:19:14,032 --> 00:19:18,044
your print by Amber any stack testing so
they can connect in certain ways

341
00:19:18,044 --> 00:19:21,102
I'm you can actually build larger
structures by connecting on Cerro

342
00:19:22,002 --> 00:19:25,034
and we're trying to think about what a
fine and useful

343
00:19:25,034 --> 00:19:28,049
things that we can print Yahoo and 18

344
00:19:28,049 --> 00:19:31,055
jump in and add to that I think there's
some really good points made their

345
00:19:32,009 --> 00:19:35,088
on I think what what we're most excited
about here

346
00:19:35,169 --> 00:19:38,062
on the maid's Bayside in addition to
that is that

347
00:19:38,062 --> 00:19:40,159
you know is kinda mention this is the
first primary standing up is is a

348
00:19:41,059 --> 00:19:42,768
technology demonstration

349
00:19:43,299 --> 00:19:46,350
I'm really based on the technology that
we've built here there's going to be a

350
00:19:46,809 --> 00:19:47,810
second crater

351
00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:51,034
going after that which is going to be a
commercial facility

352
00:19:51,034 --> 00:19:55,243
where we're going to actually be opening
it up so that anyone the world really

353
00:19:55,549 --> 00:19:59,584
can trent things in space and that
really speaks to you i think

354
00:19:59,899 --> 00:20:02,924
something that when the show is touching
on earlier about how greater partnership

355
00:20:03,149 --> 00:20:04,188
this is between

356
00:20:04,539 --> 00:20:07,085
nasa private industry and we've been
able to build this technology working

357
00:20:07,085 --> 00:20:07,163
with nasa

358
00:20:08,063 --> 00:20:12,007
but now you know we have I'm a lot of
people contacting us were saying that we

359
00:20:12,007 --> 00:20:15,019
like to put something in space wanna put
something I space station

360
00:20:15,082 --> 00:20:18,090
you know when when can you print for us
right and I think it's this is really

361
00:20:19,062 --> 00:20:20,621
really important for furthering

362
00:20:21,179 --> 00:20:24,025
space exploration now if you look at how
a

363
00:20:24,025 --> 00:20:27,674
amazing the potential is for space
exploration not only

364
00:20:27,899 --> 00:20:30,990
that hold the here the future of the
human race literally but

365
00:20:31,809 --> 00:20:34,820
also already the background have so many
of the essential

366
00:20:34,919 --> 00:20:37,944
pieces that what we do here on earth
today GPS cell phones

367
00:20:38,169 --> 00:20:41,218
satellites all of this space is so
important but really

368
00:20:41,659 --> 00:20:46,073
up until now it's been very very
difficult to access really only

369
00:20:46,073 --> 00:20:47,097
governments and

370
00:20:47,097 --> 00:20:50,172
powers with billions of dollars can you
never quite something

371
00:20:51,072 --> 00:20:55,161
and so what I things I'm most excited
about is once we have this printer there

372
00:20:55,809 --> 00:20:58,896
we're gonna be opening up access to
space to a whole new class

373
00:20:59,679 --> 00:21:04,013
so people organizations in individuals
and teams on earth

374
00:21:04,013 --> 00:21:07,074
literally I really mean this for anyone
who who is

375
00:21:07,074 --> 00:21:10,983
tuned in right now if there is something
the you you do you want to put in space

376
00:21:11,649 --> 00:21:14,738
I'm this really we really wanna make it
possible so that everybody

377
00:21:15,539 --> 00:21:19,566
as a chance to go ahead and do that you
might actually have the idea right now

378
00:21:19,809 --> 00:21:22,894
for a better way an astronaut could do
something up there you might have a

379
00:21:23,659 --> 00:21:24,711
better idea for how

380
00:21:25,179 --> 00:21:28,037
various things can be done and we want
to make it so that at

381
00:21:28,037 --> 00:21:31,816
global collaboration that we're seeing
with app development and

382
00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:35,094
all these other areas that you know some
fifteen-year-old

383
00:21:35,094 --> 00:21:38,175
in Europe somewhere comes up with an
idea and it

384
00:21:39,075 --> 00:21:43,112
suddenly it is able to get the top of
the App Store why can't that same kid be

385
00:21:44,012 --> 00:21:45,671
developing solutions for space

386
00:21:45,779 --> 00:21:49,049
and when the this 3d printers there are
really think that speaking at what we're

387
00:21:49,049 --> 00:21:50,108
gonna print that's the most exciting

388
00:21:51,008 --> 00:21:54,607
I think it's going to be the things that
we haven't bought it yet it when people

389
00:21:54,679 --> 00:21:57,025
on earth really wake up and realize that

390
00:21:57,025 --> 00:22:02,058
well now they actually can put things
into space at an affordable and fast way

391
00:22:02,058 --> 00:22:05,071
I'm that's when the innovation is really
gonna take off we're gonna get

392
00:22:05,071 --> 00:22:06,113
developments we need to

393
00:22:07,013 --> 00:22:11,013
further space exploration a mic and cam
all ads

394
00:22:11,013 --> 00:22:15,024
a student om getting access to a cab
file

395
00:22:15,024 --> 00:22:18,803
and up linking it directly to the
printer and printing something

396
00:22:19,019 --> 00:22:22,007
and zero-g_ on the space station

397
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:25,007
I think that's a very powerful bad

398
00:22:25,007 --> 00:22:28,010
had to get back to you will have will
have some other files and that we're

399
00:22:28,037 --> 00:22:30,696
going to pretty in space available here
on the ground

400
00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:35,062
I'm a they've been opened I can be
initiated at open source information so

401
00:22:35,062 --> 00:22:38,341
anyone on the ground say and my
daughters were excited about this when

402
00:22:38,899 --> 00:22:40,075
they're good science fair there is an

403
00:22:40,075 --> 00:22:43,110
mommy I have access to a 3d printer I
can print the exact being on

404
00:22:44,001 --> 00:22:47,550
on the ground and show my friends at
BAFTAs and a prince eight net absolutely

405
00:22:47,649 --> 00:22:48,044
true

406
00:22:48,044 --> 00:22:51,123
I'd also like to add and mass is really
trying to clear the path for this

407
00:22:52,023 --> 00:22:53,582
commercialization efforts

408
00:22:53,789 --> 00:22:57,073
an hour in goal is that eventually wants
all this happened in in namespace

409
00:22:57,073 --> 00:23:00,862
I had to commercial printer on orbit an
ass is actually a customer at that

410
00:23:01,519 --> 00:23:01,594
printer

411
00:23:02,269 --> 00:23:05,005
and we had a ISS is a national lab in
Anchorage

412
00:23:05,005 --> 00:23:09,104
ok stay 22 gable at INSEAD a cool things
that we're doing our space station and

413
00:23:10,049 --> 00:23:12,058
it like people know that it's up there
and they know we're going probably three

414
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:14,005
legal status

415
00:23:14,005 --> 00:23:17,804
and that but this commercialization and
it's really a national asset that we

416
00:23:18,299 --> 00:23:20,095
want to utilize and effectively and
efficiently

417
00:23:20,095 --> 00:23:23,122
so ultimately we want to be a customer
this is well math is it looking to be

418
00:23:24,022 --> 00:23:27,581
the one to build the printers that
enable the path into into utilized

419
00:23:27,779 --> 00:23:31,061
runners cool a we actually have

420
00:23:31,061 --> 00:23:34,062
a a different another different question
every aircraft at

421
00:23:34,071 --> 00:23:37,540
Street your I'll and I think

422
00:23:38,179 --> 00:23:42,179
them to think the guys talking about who
people like excited

423
00:23:42,179 --> 00:23:45,035
I will ever be a chance that live
streaming or

424
00:23:45,035 --> 00:23:48,073
tweeting from the 3d printer in states
like are people gonna be able to see

425
00:23:48,073 --> 00:23:49,132
step come out

426
00:23:49,789 --> 00:23:54,026
the a I out of the picture somewhere on
nasa TV

427
00:23:54,026 --> 00:23:57,815
we actually will be recording and the
prints I will be analyzed science data

428
00:23:58,049 --> 00:24:00,087
from Mac but we actually are planning to
have an

429
00:24:00,429 --> 00:24:03,005
and twit the printer itself to have a
Twitter account

430
00:24:03,005 --> 00:24:06,934
and it for help in the printer itself
will be tweeting and receiving tweets

431
00:24:07,429 --> 00:24:09,453
and that we can kinda see where it goes
from there

432
00:24:09,669 --> 00:24:13,036
I we do have some educational outreach
and systemic idiots

433
00:24:13,036 --> 00:24:16,215
and it would like to work with schools
and other outlets and some cool

434
00:24:16,539 --> 00:24:18,624
challenges there may need to kinda be
listening out for

435
00:24:19,389 --> 00:24:22,097
and at will be announced and the near
future

436
00:24:22,097 --> 00:24:25,656
said we're really excited about that but
yes we do plan for the printer to have a

437
00:24:26,529 --> 00:24:28,073
Twitter and I'm sure a Facebook account
as well

438
00:24:28,073 --> 00:24:31,157
as had a baby interact and we will be
having videos at the actual printing

439
00:24:32,057 --> 00:24:33,101
what are taking place

440
00:24:34,001 --> 00:24:37,760
cool a school I have another

441
00:24:37,769 --> 00:24:40,808
another question here rather than Travis
Nelson humble

442
00:24:41,159 --> 00:24:44,021
I and it is also something I'm wondering
it

443
00:24:44,021 --> 00:24:48,120
how I'll and we've got sorted about how
a

444
00:24:48,309 --> 00:24:52,315
things are moving in the future bada how
hard questions the idea of sending a 3d

445
00:24:52,909 --> 00:24:53,936
printer to

446
00:24:54,179 --> 00:24:59,074
asteroid to the Nooner cars in having a
bill that space station or

447
00:24:59,074 --> 00:25:03,145
you know 2007 some base for the
astronauts ellipse delivered

448
00:25:04,045 --> 00:25:08,049
yeah its that's a great question I'm
sure wall have something to say they're

449
00:25:08,049 --> 00:25:11,858
on I guess that the biggest thing that I
wanted this

450
00:25:12,299 --> 00:25:16,321
say in response is that really that's
why we're doing all this

451
00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:20,086
you know the when we I'm started looking
at had a three-person space we're very

452
00:25:20,086 --> 00:25:21,365
excited about

453
00:25:22,139 --> 00:25:25,204
the prospect that really changing the
way that things were done on the space

454
00:25:25,789 --> 00:25:25,837
station

455
00:25:26,269 --> 00:25:29,084
but as a company we we really are
focused on

456
00:25:29,084 --> 00:25:33,145
enabling does a bigger space exploration
galls Kauai prevention

457
00:25:34,045 --> 00:25:37,073
I'm going to asteroids Moon and Mars

458
00:25:37,073 --> 00:25:40,094
building entire space station's things
like that and

459
00:25:40,094 --> 00:25:44,122
I so we we focused the entire time on
developing technology that would be

460
00:25:45,022 --> 00:25:46,451
possible to use

461
00:25:46,649 --> 00:25:50,673
inside the space station but also have
major applications and all those

462
00:25:50,889 --> 00:25:54,084
other areas so we view this as a very
real

463
00:25:54,084 --> 00:25:58,113
an important step towards those its
further out goals

464
00:25:59,013 --> 00:26:02,292
that's kinda what amazing about 3d
printing as a technology that's so

465
00:26:02,409 --> 00:26:02,483
versatile

466
00:26:03,149 --> 00:26:06,058
the same thing they can print a little
ranch like this

467
00:26:06,058 --> 00:26:09,111
I'm may also be able to train a lot of
other a

468
00:26:10,011 --> 00:26:14,570
much more complicated than and larger
and more progressive thanks so

469
00:26:14,669 --> 00:26:19,047
I that that's absolutely the focus and
this sorta step up manufacturing the

470
00:26:19,047 --> 00:26:20,616
first thing in space

471
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:24,088
at all and then the %uh the next 10 2013

472
00:26:24,529 --> 00:26:27,076
however many after that on station I is
is

473
00:26:27,076 --> 00:26:30,101
the very important milestone on the way
to those

474
00:26:31,001 --> 00:26:34,096
future steps both technologically and
just societal

475
00:26:34,096 --> 00:26:37,125
some ass as a whole we've left

476
00:26:38,025 --> 00:26:41,064
I entire road map oath

477
00:26:41,289 --> 00:26:46,001
about the future manufacturing in space
and we look at it from a point of view

478
00:26:46,001 --> 00:26:50,025
building the capability so we can
explore deeper and deeper space

479
00:26:50,034 --> 00:26:53,243
so we look at the International Space
Station and we look at

480
00:26:53,549 --> 00:26:57,608
up ground-based we look at other
planetary services that include ashort

481
00:26:58,139 --> 00:27:01,073
as different testing and proving grounds
and platforms

482
00:27:01,073 --> 00:27:04,111
that first we start with the 3d printer
on zero-g_

483
00:27:05,011 --> 00:27:09,088
then you know as a plastic then maybe we
look at Matt Olson we look at a recycler

484
00:27:09,088 --> 00:27:12,093
and then we go external to the space
station and we look at

485
00:27:13,038 --> 00:27:16,125
how do we you use what we learned from
the 3d printer

486
00:27:17,025 --> 00:27:21,037
and now starting using that to the
larger structures are being able to

487
00:27:21,037 --> 00:27:21,113
function

488
00:27:22,013 --> 00:27:25,034
on other planetary surfaces and then
using knows

489
00:27:25,034 --> 00:27:29,062
resources or in Sichuan resources from
another planetary surface

490
00:27:29,062 --> 00:27:33,121
to afford us on infrastructure that we
can explore

491
00:27:33,679 --> 00:27:36,085
com other parts as the numbers

492
00:27:36,085 --> 00:27:40,121
60 I can add to that just a little kids
this is a very exciting area and

493
00:27:41,021 --> 00:27:44,370
so the term that kinda be inclined to in
space manufacturing

494
00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:48,022
and likely nature and micro referred to
you it's it's really a whole suite of

495
00:27:48,022 --> 00:27:49,191
capabilities

496
00:27:49,389 --> 00:27:53,034
and the 3d printer in five a station
it's just a very very first at

497
00:27:53,034 --> 00:27:56,953
and as the nature image and I we have
things like external imagine if we had

498
00:27:57,259 --> 00:27:58,061
and the micro Miri

499
00:27:58,061 --> 00:28:02,100
erase in eighty gravity magic he had a
micrometer right here on station

500
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,099
currently we don't have a really a way
to do it in space repair &

501
00:28:06,099 --> 00:28:10,258
imagine if we could structure lights and
they have handheld scanners which 22

502
00:28:11,149 --> 00:28:13,082
referred to earlier that and we plan to
fly Saints

503
00:28:13,082 --> 00:28:16,174
it actually stand and be here and then
you could reverse engineer a cad at

504
00:28:17,074 --> 00:28:19,111
model I did that and in print a patch

505
00:28:20,011 --> 00:28:23,580
and in addition to that and if you've
heard much about the Contra cracking an

506
00:28:23,679 --> 00:28:25,022
additive construction

507
00:28:25,022 --> 00:28:28,591
and if you go back today all season
articles of at and we're in china for

508
00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:30,098
example they've been building temporary
housing

509
00:28:30,098 --> 00:28:33,637
you that the capability that's not
science fiction that the capability that

510
00:28:34,519 --> 00:28:35,522
exist today

511
00:28:35,549 --> 00:28:39,099
on the ground am it's a very exciting
way and you can imagine any case like a

512
00:28:39,099 --> 00:28:40,172
natural disaster with FEMA

513
00:28:41,072 --> 00:28:44,241
or and are our military out in a remote

514
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:49,048
area if you could build things like
landing pads and remote shelters

515
00:28:49,048 --> 00:28:52,837
and you can imagine on mars or a he
needed a radiation

516
00:28:53,269 --> 00:28:57,049
at protection habitat and as a major
mentioned ok trip for art space

517
00:28:57,049 --> 00:28:58,074
exploration you would use

518
00:28:58,074 --> 00:29:01,150
the in-state you say you would use that
to regulate from whatever and

519
00:29:02,005 --> 00:29:06,076
and trestle being you might be I but on
the ground maybe you could use a and

520
00:29:07,021 --> 00:29:11,450
so there's a lot of coal technologies
and that are on the ground at nasa

521
00:29:11,639 --> 00:29:15,037
and companies like Maine's H I'm can
leverage their things we have to tweak

522
00:29:15,037 --> 00:29:16,038
and do a little differently

523
00:29:16,047 --> 00:29:19,072
for that in space applications and that
we are I

524
00:29:19,072 --> 00:29:22,991
keeping up with the current technologies
and leveraging knows where we can

525
00:29:23,639 --> 00:29:27,038
and there's also things like recycling
and we have to find station at

526
00:29:27,038 --> 00:29:30,087
today it matter act and I think there
might be an announcement for a day

527
00:29:30,087 --> 00:29:33,136
2014 a swine at small business
innovation

528
00:29:34,036 --> 00:29:37,335
awards and I we've got one out for
recyclers

529
00:29:37,659 --> 00:29:40,698
we think the next key step would be to
show that you could turn this part

530
00:29:41,049 --> 00:29:45,035
back in today the feedstock and reuse
that they'd stop for exploration you can

531
00:29:45,035 --> 00:29:46,864
imagine how cue that would be

532
00:29:47,179 --> 00:29:49,277
and that's also something we could use
on the ground for if we had printers and

533
00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:52,061
her home which i think a lot of us will
shortly

534
00:29:52,061 --> 00:29:55,260
and say oh and we're excited about
looking into that type that that

535
00:29:55,809 --> 00:29:56,815
demonstration as well

536
00:29:57,409 --> 00:30:00,433
yeah and I had such as water one other
thing on the end there

537
00:30:00,649 --> 00:30:04,665
which is time back to what I said before
it's really reminding people that

538
00:30:04,809 --> 00:30:08,881
with these 3d printers on the space
station I you are going to be able to

539
00:30:09,529 --> 00:30:12,617
design things an impact space
exploration right so even if it

540
00:30:13,409 --> 00:30:17,057
we're doing something small on the space
station their experiments the can do

541
00:30:17,057 --> 00:30:19,126
there that are very relevant to say

542
00:30:19,639 --> 00:30:23,023
printing something out Astra rights if
you're interested in the idea

543
00:30:23,023 --> 00:30:27,722
what can you do one asteroids I'm making
true a lot of those ideas and testify

544
00:30:27,929 --> 00:30:30,950
that he is great what we're doing on
station now

545
00:30:31,139 --> 00:30:34,087
and I'm again be able to have that like
more global

546
00:30:34,087 --> 00:30:39,506
open access to ideas maybe now a high
school team can think of an experiment

547
00:30:40,289 --> 00:30:44,072
that I is simulating something about an
asteroid 3d printed and we do it

548
00:30:44,072 --> 00:30:48,088
it just having that so much more open to
the world is really can accelerate our

549
00:30:48,088 --> 00:30:49,159
progress towards being able to do it

550
00:30:50,059 --> 00:30:53,368
they were an actual Astra and I would
add that I'm

551
00:30:53,899 --> 00:30:57,048
never signing up for a 3d printer a box
a printing

552
00:30:57,048 --> 00:31:00,083
are another planetary surface we look
totally different

553
00:31:00,083 --> 00:31:04,052
um it would be stopped up very automated
very robotic

554
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:08,048
up with ahead some sports so

555
00:31:08,048 --> 00:31:11,006
to stretch your imagination what what
that would look like

556
00:31:11,006 --> 00:31:14,067
and you have to start from somewhere to
establish that capability

557
00:31:15,021 --> 00:31:18,090
I think that 3d print I'm efforts really

558
00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:21,316
up triggers that up process to allow us
to

559
00:31:21,649 --> 00:31:25,059
to think what what that looks like what
was being able to use additive

560
00:31:29,625 --> 00:31:26,018
manufacturing

561
00:31:30,309 --> 00:31:34,001
to a create infrastructure on other
planetary surfaces

562
00:31:34,001 --> 00:31:37,710
clinically depressed what leaks six
matching

563
00:31:37,809 --> 00:31:42,011
that anything about it integrated system
taste like printable electronics

564
00:31:42,011 --> 00:31:45,082
its really height area code integrated
system we have

565
00:31:45,082 --> 00:31:48,147
all these capabilities where you can
verify the part meet specifications and

566
00:31:49,047 --> 00:31:50,486
you have printable electronics

567
00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:54,961
the autonomy and the software and say
it's very exciting and really hope to

568
00:31:55,429 --> 00:31:56,062
hear back from

569
00:31:56,062 --> 00:32:00,111
people out there in in in and
universities and schools in the general

570
00:32:00,669 --> 00:32:01,744
public because this is that

571
00:32:02,419 --> 00:32:05,442
a very innovative area and when that we
feel strongly we can

572
00:32:05,649 --> 00:32:09,022
interact with the public in and it is a
different way of thinking it's someone

573
00:32:09,022 --> 00:32:10,571
mentality shift and

574
00:32:10,769 --> 00:32:14,007
we look forward to hearing from from
folks across the country

575
00:32:14,007 --> 00:32:18,816
falls I'm yeah I guess I'm I was gonna
ask you if you could maybe described to

576
00:32:19,509 --> 00:32:19,572
a sweat

577
00:32:20,139 --> 00:32:23,047
what it's what I actually look like a
when

578
00:32:23,047 --> 00:32:26,123
let states developed obviously this is
yes action are out there but

579
00:32:27,023 --> 00:32:31,071
it wanted to build a house would you
have to drop house I specter down down

580
00:32:31,071 --> 00:32:34,910
there on the ballot saying

581
00:32:35,549 --> 00:32:38,007
but I think that we're looking at today
when a jerk and talked a bit like I said

582
00:32:38,007 --> 00:32:41,356
the technology on the ground exist today
and it's one that they've all been

583
00:32:42,049 --> 00:32:45,084
quickly because I think there's a a real
world need for that

584
00:32:45,399 --> 00:32:49,037
and an answer is really no and there's
some really cool technology

585
00:32:49,037 --> 00:32:52,796
out there now where and it doesn't have
to be decides the house to print house

586
00:32:53,129 --> 00:32:55,024
you can actually print at peace Aki

587
00:32:55,024 --> 00:32:58,303
and build on the structures and
autonomously with with robots

588
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:01,096
and there's there's all kinds and that's
why I was sleeping at the innovative

589
00:33:01,096 --> 00:33:01,935
ideas

590
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:06,097
and its its it doesn't have to be one
plus one equals to you and you can

591
00:33:06,097 --> 00:33:10,026
actually take advantage integrated
systems and robotics not on me

592
00:33:10,899 --> 00:33:14,096
and actually acting up with with new and
different way to doing it in a smaller

593
00:33:14,096 --> 00:33:15,015
package

594
00:33:15,879 --> 00:33:19,034
Ste cool I'm

595
00:33:19,034 --> 00:33:22,061
action again also just wondering you
mentioned

596
00:33:22,061 --> 00:33:25,460
maybe I can talk about this as well that
yes I had tests on the

597
00:33:26,009 --> 00:33:31,034
on the vomit comet I'll and hit you up
can you describe that a little bit more

598
00:33:31,034 --> 00:33:33,133
and also just running like you've got
thirty seconds this thing is printing

599
00:33:34,033 --> 00:33:35,582
it's in the middle of something

600
00:33:35,879 --> 00:33:39,046
and how your thirty-seconds up to you to
grab the machine or gonna

601
00:33:39,046 --> 00:33:42,058
crashed Flores I'll

602
00:33:42,058 --> 00:33:45,007
yes so it's that no it is bolted down

603
00:33:45,007 --> 00:33:48,049
so you don't have to worry about that
Johnson it its

604
00:33:49,012 --> 00:33:52,061
it supplies in a parabola so what you
get is you get

605
00:33:52,169 --> 00:33:56,194
yeah about you know thirty seconds or so
zero-g_ and that it wasn't the 2g

606
00:33:56,419 --> 00:33:59,454
and that that the 2 G's actually the
part that most people's

607
00:33:59,769 --> 00:34:03,032
i mix have a problem with but now what
we actually it weighs

608
00:34:03,032 --> 00:34:06,007
it actually make it easier on ourselves
%uh %um

609
00:34:06,007 --> 00:34:09,043
started making the printer so that he
would actually dealer

610
00:34:10,006 --> 00:34:15,053
trent all the way throughout the entire
parabola so anywhere from zero to two

611
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:18,150
actually anywhere so I had something
that I actually talk about that much but

612
00:34:19,005 --> 00:34:22,054
since you brought it up on me know what
we

613
00:34:22,099 --> 00:34:25,171
actually have developed is not just in
zero gravity printing technology but a

614
00:34:26,071 --> 00:34:29,109
gravity independent printing technology
so we actually just let it burn all the

615
00:34:30,009 --> 00:34:30,101
way through in our

616
00:34:31,001 --> 00:34:34,004
final iterations you you look at the
final prints and you couldn't even tell

617
00:34:34,004 --> 00:34:34,012
it's like

618
00:34:35,002 --> 00:34:39,009
whether ways year or two anywhere
between the car would be

619
00:34:39,027 --> 00:34:42,031
indistinguishable now all

620
00:34:42,031 --> 00:34:45,037
your a you guys know what the

621
00:34:45,037 --> 00:34:48,061
the very first thing you're going to
print on the space station is when it

622
00:34:48,061 --> 00:34:50,063
gets up there in August

623
00:34:50,081 --> 00:34:53,086
so we we are playing around with

624
00:34:53,086 --> 00:34:56,169
I'm unit a few different concept there
is one that's kinda

625
00:34:57,069 --> 00:35:00,115
at on our minds right now I'm

626
00:35:01,015 --> 00:35:04,071
but I guess Nick here we are we talking
about that publicly at this point

627
00:35:04,071 --> 00:35:07,114
or well left I mentioned earlier shoulda
brought some money but that the very

628
00:35:08,014 --> 00:35:09,057
first parts and

629
00:35:09,057 --> 00:35:14,006
look kinda mind einon and trivial tear
the comment layman I because they are

630
00:35:14,006 --> 00:35:16,013
things like 10 suspects an enzyme

631
00:35:16,067 --> 00:35:19,086
that the key objective here is to get
their samples I will learn a lot with

632
00:35:19,086 --> 00:35:22,149
the camera recording the printout layers
are being laid in real time

633
00:35:23,049 --> 00:35:26,073
and in Wall Street bringing it back to
the ground and you in detail ground

634
00:35:26,073 --> 00:35:27,138
analysis so that kinda day

635
00:35:28,038 --> 00:35:31,039
society and we get excited about it
everyone

636
00:35:31,048 --> 00:35:34,135
exciting and then after that we do have
as several tools

637
00:35:35,035 --> 00:35:38,058
one thing I mention it's like
replacement parts for the printer

638
00:35:38,058 --> 00:35:41,083
and they're they're certain component to
the printer itself and

639
00:35:41,083 --> 00:35:44,170
and I let my cat you want Taco Bell a
bit more that if we need to replace

640
00:35:45,007 --> 00:35:47,074
those and just normal wear and tear just
like your

641
00:35:48,037 --> 00:35:51,079
the printer on on the ground we want to
be able to prepare summoners replacement

642
00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:51,153
parts

643
00:35:52,053 --> 00:35:55,081
and be our first time customer and user
and and Mike

644
00:35:55,081 --> 00:35:58,134
you wanna talk more about that 3 yea
Asher so yeah we

645
00:35:59,034 --> 00:36:02,128
we design the trainer itself to have a
number

646
00:36:03,028 --> 00:36:06,056
components inside that are actually
3d-printed right

647
00:36:06,056 --> 00:36:09,119
we sort it wanted to I'm proved that

648
00:36:10,019 --> 00:36:13,067
you know really you can you can have
real space hardware with three different

649
00:36:13,067 --> 00:36:14,165
person is something that we now

650
00:36:15,065 --> 00:36:18,138
but it's not you know it's not quite
clear to everyone so we we took every

651
00:36:19,038 --> 00:36:20,101
opportunity to make

652
00:36:21,001 --> 00:36:24,023
quite a number really important parts
insider 3d printer

653
00:36:24,023 --> 00:36:28,111
actually three principal and the printer
itself is actually going to be able to

654
00:36:29,011 --> 00:36:33,038
print its own replacement parts to a
certain extent and some other things

655
00:36:33,038 --> 00:36:34,040
reprinting

656
00:36:34,058 --> 00:36:38,061
are going to be a those actual
replacement parts

657
00:36:38,088 --> 00:36:42,114
and pro-business clatter actually gonna
maybe even try to install them back in

658
00:36:43,014 --> 00:36:47,035
the printer and show that it was
actually able to repair itself

659
00:36:47,035 --> 00:36:51,068
all I'm gonna take one with one last
question here from our audience this one

660
00:36:51,068 --> 00:36:52,073
is from jerry

661
00:36:52,073 --> 00:36:57,091
fits I who s said if there are any new
technologies that we believe

662
00:36:57,091 --> 00:37:00,185
we could see in zero G only that are
completely different that

663
00:37:01,085 --> 00:37:05,183
and what we would have here on earth
with 3d printing

664
00:37:06,083 --> 00:37:09,110
sure I'm yeah I think making is about it
together I

665
00:37:10,001 --> 00:37:14,014
I'll say medical it all excited about it
yeah the answer is

666
00:37:14,023 --> 00:37:18,117
actually could be the yet we do get
excited about that and the answer is it

667
00:37:19,017 --> 00:37:20,002
actually could be

668
00:37:20,002 --> 00:37:23,066
and wonder even if we do you call this a
technology demonstration is is just

669
00:37:23,084 --> 00:37:25,110
weird fan because five a parabolic
flight

670
00:37:26,001 --> 00:37:29,074
we can to play an entire print during
that my crappy boers

671
00:37:29,083 --> 00:37:33,098
on a pair by white so truly what what's
really exciting for us come and get you

672
00:37:33,098 --> 00:37:33,156
ok sign

673
00:37:34,056 --> 00:37:37,062
on the material cited this as well as is
we don't know for sure

674
00:37:38,016 --> 00:37:41,058
what Mr crabby might happen we might
actually see some improvements

675
00:37:41,058 --> 00:37:44,105
and the way the printer is designed you
know we don't have convection in space

676
00:37:45,005 --> 00:37:45,104
for example

677
00:37:46,004 --> 00:37:50,016
and so there backward on a crystal
growth we saw a lot of improvements in a

678
00:37:50,016 --> 00:37:51,069
way to crystal structure and

679
00:37:51,069 --> 00:37:55,145
add with ways is built and so we can
actually possibly see that as well we

680
00:37:56,045 --> 00:37:59,094
just don't know an act that is exciting
part about a technology demonstration

681
00:37:59,094 --> 00:38:03,137
as I mentioned earlier it's not just and
the mic ready aspect might we see

682
00:38:04,037 --> 00:38:04,113
something different

683
00:38:05,013 --> 00:38:08,038
it's how we can design differently and
we

684
00:38:08,038 --> 00:38:12,008
we my at the I'm positive that we're
gonna come up with an you the public

685
00:38:12,008 --> 00:38:16,009
help us come up with new and innovative
ways making step in space that we've

686
00:38:16,081 --> 00:38:17,108
never been able to do

687
00:38:18,008 --> 00:38:21,062
just because the way we have to watch it
I'm so the answer is yes we actually

688
00:38:21,062 --> 00:38:24,111
could find some cool and materials
aspects of this that make it and I

689
00:38:25,011 --> 00:38:26,086
differently preying on the ground

690
00:38:26,086 --> 00:38:29,009
but it's an absolute 100 percent
certainty that we will find new

691
00:38:29,009 --> 00:38:33,016
things to print in years and in a
different way

692
00:38:33,097 --> 00:38:37,119
and microgravity environment but I would
just add just right I'm sorry Mike

693
00:38:38,019 --> 00:38:41,084
compaq I'll just from the the mir
redesigned

694
00:38:41,084 --> 00:38:44,096
made in space did several PEPFAR whites
in

695
00:38:44,096 --> 00:38:47,097
they've had to come up with their own
design

696
00:38:48,006 --> 00:38:51,061
to start from that point we we've add it
to the

697
00:38:51,061 --> 00:38:55,067
to the knowledge base up 3d printing
from print heads to

698
00:38:55,067 --> 00:38:59,072
I'll you know how you know how's the
polymer going to flow out

699
00:39:00,017 --> 00:39:03,089
citing you know credit is is due to made
in space for just

700
00:39:03,089 --> 00:39:06,158
taking that risk in being innovative to
design their own

701
00:39:07,058 --> 00:39:11,100
brenner now a bank's when a germantown
like I said earlier we actually didn't

702
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,077
even set out to do it and it was a

703
00:39:13,077 --> 00:39:17,106
very interesting wrote but yeah it's
been its it you are right

704
00:39:18,006 --> 00:39:21,104
now we actually have developed a number
technologies reprinting their

705
00:39:22,004 --> 00:39:25,062
I think it'll be really useful in space
but also down here

706
00:39:25,062 --> 00:39:28,069
on earth I know we're almost at a time
but I just wanted reiterate

707
00:39:29,032 --> 00:39:32,126
and Nikki's last point that it's the
most I would take away to that question

708
00:39:36,007 --> 00:39:33,068
at

709
00:39:36,007 --> 00:39:39,060
out 3d printing works I mean if you've
ever designed anything to be three

710
00:39:40,023 --> 00:39:40,097
printed

711
00:39:40,097 --> 00:39:43,159
I'm you're doing engineering you've
definitely thought about the fact that

712
00:39:44,059 --> 00:39:45,102
there's going to be

713
00:39:46,002 --> 00:39:50,016
gravity race you're going to have to
design the part to support its own way

714
00:39:50,016 --> 00:39:53,049
even worse if it has to be launched it
has to support much more than its own

715
00:39:53,049 --> 00:39:53,101
way

716
00:39:54,001 --> 00:39:57,005
also the vibrations everything like that
I'm just

717
00:39:57,005 --> 00:39:59,081
close your eyes one time and imagine
what it would be like to design

718
00:40:00,026 --> 00:40:01,028
something that had

719
00:40:01,046 --> 00:40:05,075
it didn't ever have to support any way
at all

720
00:40:05,075 --> 00:40:08,123
and you end up with these completely
different kinds of structures that

721
00:40:09,023 --> 00:40:12,107
I really could be incredibly beneficial
and a lot of waste

722
00:40:13,007 --> 00:40:16,083
and 3d printing in space is most likely
the only way to make

723
00:40:16,083 --> 00:40:20,127
structures South they say oh hell pace
and help Esquina termed what you we've

724
00:40:21,027 --> 00:40:23,118
been going around terms like zero-g_
structures

725
00:40:24,018 --> 00:40:28,021
that were really and TriMet to create a
term that is something that you can

726
00:40:28,048 --> 00:40:31,062
print with micro gravity that you can do
on our inside joke around with the guys

727
00:40:31,062 --> 00:40:34,086
at Maine's ethnic their cable how every
printer ground samples

728
00:40:34,086 --> 00:40:37,094
how do we know it works and and and that
the point is

729
00:40:37,094 --> 00:40:40,095
and you know it doesn't work on the
ground and that's why you're doing it in

730
00:40:41,004 --> 00:40:43,048
space for the red heat extractors

731
00:40:43,048 --> 00:40:46,052
an enemy bitch playing around like to
manage my key and its really

732
00:40:46,088 --> 00:40:50,151
and I love the hasher Anchorage on
people have their contact information

733
00:40:51,051 --> 00:40:54,144
out there and feel free to contact this
with with dry and cool idea

734
00:40:55,044 --> 00:40:58,086
designs or difference wave explain

735
00:40:58,086 --> 00:41:02,133
eregi structures up and I know about to
wrap up

736
00:41:03,033 --> 00:41:06,007
I just want it nasa does so many things

737
00:41:06,007 --> 00:41:09,103
31 at nasa's being the pool agency only
do so many

738
00:41:10,066 --> 00:41:13,157
ciskei its technology a quote for space
exploration

739
00:41:14,057 --> 00:41:17,058
ask all asked for daily life

740
00:41:17,067 --> 00:41:22,073
and 3d printing of as we all know that's
been around for twenty twenty-five years

741
00:41:23,027 --> 00:41:27,004
and there's a new resurgence 3d printing
and this week in

742
00:41:27,004 --> 00:41:30,015
nasa I'll had a booth at USA Science

743
00:41:30,051 --> 00:41:34,051
engineers possible and space tech had a
3d printer

744
00:41:34,051 --> 00:41:37,107
and there are so many young kids that
came to

745
00:41:38,007 --> 00:41:42,044
explored a 3d printer and I think this
is an opportunity with art 3d printing

746
00:41:42,044 --> 00:41:43,093
in zero G two really

747
00:41:43,093 --> 00:41:46,169
impact the next generation of scientists
and engineers

748
00:41:47,069 --> 00:41:52,117
and so I think it it it set aside the
technology that we're going to develop

749
00:41:53,017 --> 00:41:57,101
I think we're making us %uh real quick
impact on our younger generation and I

750
00:41:58,001 --> 00:42:00,008
think 30 parenting is that technology

751
00:42:00,008 --> 00:42:03,014
that really well will help influence
that

752
00:42:04,004 --> 00:42:08,051
ha so a we are pretty much almost that
time here

753
00:42:08,087 --> 00:42:12,093
I just wanted to maybe ask you guys call
of simple question

754
00:42:13,047 --> 00:42:16,140
if you okay I don't know if and you

755
00:42:17,004 --> 00:42:20,059
Evanescence this but how much where you
buyers by

756
00:42:20,095 --> 00:42:24,191
replicators a on Star Trek with this
technology

757
00:42:25,091 --> 00:42:28,102
I'll while I can say a hundred percent

758
00:42:29,002 --> 00:42:32,009
United definitely grew up watching all
that up and

759
00:42:32,009 --> 00:42:35,035
we actually had rod Roddenberry stop by
our office

760
00:42:36,016 --> 00:42:39,002
not too long ago who is the son of gene
roddenberry that crater

761
00:42:39,002 --> 00:42:44,009
Star Trek and we had the amazing moment
where he actually came into our

762
00:42:44,027 --> 00:42:48,085
are lab and put his hand on our printer
and actually said

763
00:42:48,085 --> 00:42:51,181
hero gray hot so that when they're
pretty calm moment for all that

764
00:42:52,081 --> 00:42:55,119
Star Trek fans out there course that
didn't make that he yet but

765
00:42:56,019 --> 00:42:59,021
now but for future future version of the
trainer and

766
00:42:59,039 --> 00:43:02,072
but yes absolutely inspired player cool

767
00:43:02,072 --> 00:43:06,164
yeah arlen a Cherokee

768
00:43:07,064 --> 00:43:11,067
absolutely hey I think I I think add
it's obvious we hear that a lie

769
00:43:11,067 --> 00:43:14,125
and in this Dec by age along that lines
the replicator we're trying to make

770
00:43:15,025 --> 00:43:19,048
atrial also think as Big Bang guys might
like this is where

771
00:43:19,048 --> 00:43:22,117
who definitely I'm a die-hard Traci

772
00:43:23,017 --> 00:43:26,034
and so what I think that this I think
the

773
00:43:26,034 --> 00:43:29,089
all the next the next step actually

774
00:43:29,089 --> 00:43:33,161
all trans transporting ourselves to a
planetary surface the

775
00:43:34,061 --> 00:43:38,142
starting point so I think we've really
get very excited about this and I

776
00:43:39,042 --> 00:43:42,063
hope that you see that when we talk
about pretty frightening because we

777
00:43:42,063 --> 00:43:44,069
think it's the best bank sent some

778
00:43:45,023 --> 00:43:49,051
talk talk yeltsin all thanked everybody
for

779
00:43:49,051 --> 00:43:52,066
for joining us for six years in our
technical difficulty some

780
00:43:52,066 --> 00:43:55,098
construction here wires offices as well
I

781
00:43:55,098 --> 00:43:58,113
if you want to find out more information
we got information about

782
00:43:59,013 --> 00:44:03,029
over this nasa effort and made in space
on our Google+ case

783
00:44:03,029 --> 00:44:06,088
I mean you can try and protect any the
folks that you talk to today so

784
00:44:06,088 --> 00:44:09,177
thanks very much thanks Robert A court
hearing back
