The Nonhuman Autonomous Space Agency, a project of The Working Group on Adaptive Systems of Maryland, thinks we should all take a different view on colonizing space. Because it is such a challenge for humans to achieve that mission, they encourage thinking of a more unique solution — one that would send animals such as manatees and chickens to a space colony, in a 3D printed habitat. Check out the concept behind this whimsical idea in the full article: http://3dprint.com/37264/3d-print-animal-space-habitat/


Below is a look at the proposed 3D printed habitat for space animals. Is this a crazy idea or an idea that may one day work? Will we be 3D printing space-bound homes for animals on earth any time soon? If so, how soon?
