NASA has sent a contracted Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) with nearly 3,720kg of cargo on board, including a machine meant to demonstrate 3D printing regolith on the moon and other extraterrestrial surfaces. The project's success would be a milestone in the colonization of space since such machines would be able to construct extraterrestrial dwellings for man.
