I'm wondering if we can build an open source repository of "how to build anything" - schematics, materials, step by step instructions. Combined with generic tech like computers and 3D-printers it would make a universal factory. A "self replicating factory" - capable of producing a copy of itself but also anything else - could be enough to bootstrap economy anywhere. Colonising Mars is probably going to contribute research in this direction.
