Combining 'The Martian' 3D Printing and NASA

The recent success of the Matt Damon film The Martian has renewed interest in NASA’s space exploration efforts, including the possibility of a real manned mission to Mars. The author of the novel, Andy Weir, made the trip as realistic as possible and included real Martian landmarks. He recently provided NASA with the exact coordinates of every location in the novel, in the hopes that they would take images of the trip using the real locations. NASA agreed, and released Mars Trek 2.0. which charts the film and novels path, allows users to interact with each step of the journey and even turn the trek into a 3D printable model. You can read more about Mars Trek 2.0. over on 3DPrint.com: http://3dprint.com/100984/the-martian-3d-mars-trek-2-0/
