NASA announced a contest of printed on a 3D-printer dwellings for other planets. Prize pool - $ 2.25 million

After launching the competition for the best ideas on minimizing dependence on the Earth on the Red Planet, NASA announced a new competition with a more serious prize fund of $ 2.25 million. We are talking about the development of housing to live on another planet.

The competition "3D Printed Habitat Challenge" will be held in several stages. At the first stage, the winner will be selected on the basis of the architectural merit of his project - he will receive $ 50,000.

Two winners of the second stage will receive $ 1.1 million each - if they figure out how to produce individual components and entire buildings from local materials. For example, from stony soil.

NASA hopes to find, within the framework of the competition, ways of building dwellings for astronauts and repairing them without resorting to constant supplies of building materials from Earth.
