Plus, 3-D printed rocket parts are looking pretty good these days. You knew it would happen. NASA is planning to send a 3-D printer aboard the International Space Station next year, The Guardian reports. 3-D printers' ability to custom-make parts would be invaluable for repairs in space. But first, engineers need to make a 3-D printer that works in zero gravity. Challenges include that thermal properties are different in zero gravity, Jason Dunn, who co-founded Made in Space to develop the techn...
