Quite. What I would like to hear from all these gung-ho types, is how we go about producing quantities of a simple 2-core power cable, on Mars, or in the asteroids or the Moon.

- _Microft 6y agoI don't know how but I am convinced that we are capable of finding out if we actually try.

I'd like to see a system that, allowed to order any stock catalog item on Amazon or Digi-Key, could self-replicate.
