“Engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, tested NASA's first 3-D printed rocket engine prototype part made of two different metal alloys through an innovative advanced manufacturing process. NASA has been making and evaluating durable 3-D printed rocket parts made of one metal, but the technique of 3-D printing, or additive manufacturing, with more than one metal is more difficult.”
Relativity Space reveals its ambitions with big NASA deal

Despite what the media says, there has been no time in human history where so few people have been effected by crime, war, and poverty world wide. We are currently living in an unprecedented golden age. Seriously, more people die in car accidents each year then in all the wars and conflicts going on right now by hundreds of thousands. in 2016 the estimated body count of all wars that year was 87,432. World wide 1.25 million people die each year in car accidents and a further 20 to 50 million are injured. Then consider that ONLY 87,432 people died due to war out of 8 Billion people. Less then a percent of our global population is directly effected by war. Crime has been on the down trend globally for 20 years and in the US is lower then it has been since the 1960s. In 1990 36% of the world lived on less then $1.90 a day, as of 2015 that is down to 10%. 1.1 billion people, an eighth of the world's population has risen out of extreme poverty. Down from 70% in 1900, which itself was down from the world bank's first estimate in 1820 which was 84%. Humans are programmed to look for threats in our environment and the media inherently uses that basic instinct to gain viewership. Take that into account when you worry about our "destructive behavior". The danger is real, but not likely.

@@kallistiX1 100% agree. We have the technology needed to get ourselves off fossil fuel entirely without changing our infrastructure, biofuels are simply slightly more expensive. Hell, Brazil converted to ethanol fuel in the 70s. In big part climate change is hampered by over the horizon technologies being pushed in lue of practical solutions available now in order to get money. Diseases don't surprise me. They've been in the same biological arms race as we have and most people are getting vaccinated which means as a whole our immune systems is on average stronger then our ancestors. Doesn't mean everyone will survive, but I doubt we will have any massive plagues. Even with China dumping antibiotics into their animal feed like there are no consequences. Also, there are alternatives to antibiotics. The west focused on chemical treatments but the soviets focused their research on Biologics which are far more adaptable, we're getting their research now and catching up quite quickly. And because of Anti-vaxxers the conversation about vaccines is back in the forefront and most places are now making it mandatory. Not ideal from a personal rights perspective, but sometimes the greater good is simply that much better. As for our water supply... yeah that is a problem I don't have an ethical solution for.
As an engineer with some basic Metallurgy and die cast courses I have to say.. 3D printing anything with demands on strength will never take off. The problem with extusion/die cast/sintering are all the same since you heat materials and much much worse with metal printing since you are basically welding every layer. You get huge warm/cold differences in the material not to mention the volume difference of hot and cold materials. As such every 3D print made; would basically have to be put in an oven at around 800-1200C to undergo de-tension hardening and even at that you would get unsatisfying metal cristalization = weaker material and un-homogen micro structure.

That is why your pessimistic understanding is as you put it basic, and why you should give some credit to science, scientists and those being optimistic. Metallurgy is far easier than electrochemistry, yet they share a lot in common. What they don't share is the constant in-/e-flux of energy, and rather spongy and flexible lattice in the latter. Neither of us get's to play the pessimistic self-proclaimed expert, besides having "officially" studied. Guess what. No one cares. Either take the hard road and contribute something to science or calm down.

I wouldn't bet on it. There may be a few flights to the moon and back and maybe an orbital flight to Mars, but colonization won't happen. They have a hard enough time keeping everything running properly in the ISS which is in low Earth orbit. Any problem and they can return to Earth within hours. Any problem to or from or on Mars and they are doomed, as it would take months or even years to return. A problem like Apollo 13 on the way to Mars would have meant death for the astronauts.

@my3dviews

@@-Burb Sure, going to the moon is doable, as it has been done several times already during Apollo. But going to Mars is exponentially more difficult. The moon is in Earth orbit. Mars is in its own orbit around the Sun and only aligns with Earth once every two years. Even landing unmanned probes has had only limited success. Several spacecraft have been lost, many burning up when entering the atmosphere. But, getting there is the relatively easy part. Nothing has ever returned from Mars. Not even a simple probe with a sample of the surface. That should have been done long ago. Making a jump from only sending one way unmanned probes to manned flights that need a method of returning is a huge jump in technology that isn't available yet. You need to land a lander with the ability to return to Mars' orbit. Then join up with a return vehicle that can get out of Mars' orbit and get back to Earth's orbit all on schedule. Missing the return window, means staying another two years. What does NASA have to go to the moon? Just a capsule that is similar but larger than the command module of Apollo. They still have no lander. Going to Mars in that capsule would be ridiculous. It's one thing to do a week or two trip in it with four people, but doing a multi-year trip in it, won't happen. They would need something like the ISS to live in for that period of time, not a small capsule.

What is humorous is that if the French actually had succeeded by changing Time to 100s to a minute and either 10 minutes to the hour or 100 minutes to the hour and 10 or 20 hours to a day, then the meter would have been about half of its size it is today. But because of the STUPID base 60 time system and the STUPID base 60 angular system.... oh wait, they are not stupid in the era of hand calculation due to its easy fraction/prime number shortcuts. Only in the computer era is base 60 stupid.

Don't worry your granddad is already born into this world but I hope he won't end up in your dinner table as a chicken tandoori 😂
I’m a welder, and the first thing I thought was that lot of welders could lose their jobs...but then I remembered old welders saying that for the last 40 years, and we actually need more welders than we have.
Owning a 3D Printer, I'm chuckling to see the B-roll of the guy making sure the first layers are going well.
Basically it's a MIG on a arm. Did no one read the PDF on global change. Lulz

@Aarav Parikh dude..... Everybody know
With a scaling feature this will make it incredibly easy for just anyone to create actual, efficient missiles. A lot of the biggest technologies have come from trying to create destructive tools, a lot of the most destructive tools have been inadvertently created from trying to progress technology. The atom bomb from ideas of self sustained energy attempts is a good example.
Rocket Lab also uses 3D printing for their engines.
What kind of cycle is the engine using?

Splendid. This will be how all rocket companies make rockets in the future
Problem with this 3d printing is that the finishing would be rough and some complex structures could not be finished properly.....

I believe the future of 3D printing will give us something similar to the Star Trek replicator although I would expect a range of printers to be necessary for different items. For example, food printers would not print metal parts, partly because of possible contamination. They will be needed for Martian or Lunar colonies using on the spot materials to produce parts instead of carrying them up the well form Earth.
I have a feeling that these 3D printed rockets would be flimsy and cause an accident. I'm scared.

It looks like a mig welder on a robotic arm, I've had this idea for awhile, but idea and execution are two different things, massive props to these guys for getting it working.
Thanks to let us know how science and engineering shaped the world in very interesting way. These documentaries are far more useful +entertaining, unlike useless movies. I left watching movies as i was getting deeper into science. Thanks a lot!

Luke Henderson, that office guy, SOLVE YO DAMN RUBIK BRO. MY OCD IS DIEING INSIDE.
Could you use sound waves to shunt heat away on a very localized area to cure the part you like but excite the part you don't (and then remove it)? Would this result in greater precision?

I think you guys are amazing. I've been a Rocketeer for over 30 years and to think the consciousness I help spread is really coming to life. I'm very proud to see something so amazing keep it up guys and girls and whoever else they claim to be. 🙏😎👍
Cool, i want to visit space within 15 years without going bankrupt, keep it up and make it happen! 😅🤙
Alright we have this new state of the art 3d printer, what should we make with it? Car parts Building material Eco friendly products . . . Rockets
Wow! That mech engineer was so young and experienced at the same time. Simply awesome!

Yeah i agree, its just an automated mig welder. Would like to see how those tanks perform under a pressure test with so many seams. If only one spot didn't fuse correctly the whole thing will blow. Personally I really have my doubts.

@@vitruvianman7170 the video does show tests of the tanks at the end. I feel your concern though. At the end of the day though, even if they are using MIG welders, they're doing it in a way other people haven't. It still is no easy feat.

Daryl Whitfeld didnt think about that but now im not feeling great about this, its very easy that the pressure would be too great having a tank consisting of additive layers where each is a potential weakpoint. But they still fired it successfully so im assuming they have a heavy post heat/cooling treatment done
It's an amazing time to be alive🚀
I'm glad they are doing it, it's a bit early for this tech but it's nice to see them and channels to promote this tech. Until recently it was patented now it's public domain. Any public exposure to this will make the practical use of this and the price to be accessible to more engineers and tinkerers much sooner versus later.
I'm worried about layer adhesion.. like yeah they can make it but you must have a way to "bake" it so layers are much better held together.. or just vertical printing.

Please stop calling it a printer. Its a robotic welding arm..
It really looks like a MIG head on an industrial robot. I feel the brilliance is in the patent and controls. I wish these guys luck. They seem to have a good approach with excellent potential for spill over into other industries.

That's great and all, but the thing with 3D printing is that the final product will have different material properties throughout because the material is not all deposited at the same time.
