What might a human habitat on the Moon or Mars look like? We challenged citizen inventors to create full-scale habitat designs using facets of 3D printing – including modeling software and material development. Tune in to see us put the structures to the test: 🔥 10 a.m. EDT smoke test will see if there are any cracks in the structures ⬇️11 a.m. EDT impact test will attempt to crack the habitats by dropping shot puts on them from above 🚧 2 p.m. EDT crush test will attempt to crush the habitats
