Moonshot Methods for Sustainably 3D Printing Model Rockets

Can Hydrogen Powered Space Systems be composted?

Yesterday I set out to write a handful of articles that would alter the course of my life and inspire unique opportunities for you. The first one was how to make money from your next NASA idea.

In preparation for prototyping the device that will navigate to the bottom of the lunar south pole for the $20,000 prize, I need to be able to sketch it in a modern way. Pencil and paper won’t suffice. I need to 3D print it. So today I am going to create a career plan by going beyond just my ability to artistically wireframe software interfaces. I am going to artistically wireframe hardware for the moon. So my aim is to get a 3D printer, make molds of a device that the world has not seen, and put those on display at a local art gallery where I can rent a studio. The designs will be mine. I will paint them. And I will try to sell them. And in so doing, I will have started a down the path of my new career in Space Exploration Art. No I actually intend to figure out how to build systems for community gardens by learning from NASA, so I need my filament to be biodegradable. And I need my paint to be environmentally safe as well. I want aerospace to be more sustainable so that starts with me.
