the 3d printing bit? everything i've seen from the days of yore is either casting or
sintering to obtain the stock. side note - looks like congress is trying to push the
manned space program back to the moon rathern than an asteroid. this makes alot of sense
considering how much time we've spent studying the moon and making detailed plans like
these. let's run some lunar regolith simulant through that inductive heater of yours

That's been roughly the plan, or a plan, since 1980, if this NASA study is to be

makes alot more sense than pulling barstock around! glad to see we're moving forward
on this with an ISS demo - i think the second prospective space mining company DSI pins
their whole business model on 3D printing the parts close to the ore.
