Gravity is the hardest thing to simulate. Everything on mars can be simulated and you can print and trial it on earth. There's not going to be very many people on mars initially, and they have to be really productive to build structures. But i do think the intelligence and kind of machine learning or or ability to adapt to non linear print parimeters that are a little staccastic and unpredictable will be a big part of what you need.
The Sunday Times’ tech correspondent Danny Fortson brings on Tim Ellis, co-founder of Relativity, to talk about why he chose 3D printing (5:00), reducing the ways things can go wrong (11:25), how it works (15:00), the cost difference vs traditional manufacturing (26:05), why Mars (30:10), leaving Blue Origin to start the company (40:15), raising money and getting into Y Combinator (46:25), manufacturing on Mars (52:45), selling investors on the idea (59:00), and the impending launch (1:05:30).
