Future pioneers will be able to tame the relentlessly harsh environments of Mars, using raw Martian materials to 3D print and hack themselves a home on the Red Planet. Bruce Mackenzie's Mars Foundation, in conjunction with HI-SEAS and Aleph Objects, are currently testing this concept with a Lulzbot 3D printer at their prototype Mars base in Hawaii. Learn how 3D printing, and your own CAD work, can directly impact future Mars missions and the next generation of space explorers.
