"Relativity will try to realize its more ambitious long-term goal: taking this manufacturing process to the Red Planet and building a rocket using 3D printers on Mars."
Why not aim to build a fuel factory first, to refuel spacecraft for return trips?
- cbanek 8y agoMaybe because a fuel factory wouldn't be immediately profitable on Earth like building rockets? On Earth there are plenty of cheaper ways to make fuel. I do agree though that fuel is the most important thing to start making on Mars though. That and air and water.
