Amen!
All this crap about the housing shortage and they can print homes and we can pay for Ukraine and pay other countries but we can make homes for Americans
— So let's 3D print a President, Congress, Supreme Court, Comprehensive Law Enforcement, and clean environment . . .
including organic, non-GMO, naturally evolving, and healthy agricultural and food production industries.
Let's see . . . housing, food, legislative, judicial, executive government . . .
Oh, and please include peaceful, productive, and comfortable worldwide values, beliefs, and attitudes.
Thank you.
Interesting story that the beautiful and intelligent Lesley Stahl reports on, she was beautiful in her younger years and just as gorgeous in her senior years.🤩👍
built by robots, down. designed by AI? nah. Zaha Hadid would eat with this tho
Conceptually cool, environmentally impractical. I really do love the idea but concrete isn't the 'environmental' answer. Berm homes, mud brick, hemp blocks, geodesic domes, and many other techniques are much more sustainable. 🤷 Just saying.
I do appreciate these guys chasing and developing their dreams. Super awesome feat. 👍
How will you bring all that water with you to the moon?
Only a small percentage of the formal housing in our country is built using materials other than brick and mortar…
Our strict building codes have been evolving recently…but the vast majority of new builds have remained with the traditional materials…
Our informally housed population are in dire need of a viable replacement option…
As long as our horribly corrupt government does not get their sticky little fingers anywhere near this possible project solution…what an excellent initiative this could be…
The gentle angles and eye pleasing flow of these solid structures would interest me enough to buy land and build just such a home upon it…
It could possibly allow more first time buyers to invest in a home at an earlier age…

Looks like those walls will collect a lot of dust
Mars has everything we need as far as basic material for batteries phones computers etc. All the mining and refining can be done on mars thus leaving the pollution in another planet. Earth at this point would be zoned residential.
Will it work in the vacuum of space at minus two hundred degrees?
What is the obsession with colonization….?
American housing construction is like that of european playhouses lol.
amazing
I really believe in the future
Very cool idea, the only downside i see is we're running out of sand
They said its cheaper than houses but 400,000 isn’t affordable or cheaper
What is the R factor of the walls.
Jason Ballard seems like a genuinely happy person that wants to do productive, efficient, and creative things on this planet. I'm typically annoyed by Christians like him, but he really doesn't seem like the self-righteous, narrow-minded type of Christian that annoys me. He seems like someone who would respect other religious beliefs and try to harmonize with those other types. I hope this guy becomes very successful, then decides to run for presidency. We desparately need a visionary like this to run the country.
Those houses are trash that’s marketing to make money he got all those investors and he got the government back his invention just a market profit back those house or no good I want one for free
That damn Z wobble !!!!
My main thing is how does a full concrete house withstand changes in temperature and things like earthquakes. Theres a reason we dont just make concrete boxes to live in.
All concrete house? They must be quite sturdy. If something needs to get replaced inside a wall that patchwork will be real ugly.
So is $400,000 affordable? My question is what happens if you want to remodel your house down the road.
Dont get how that tiny rebar not being tied vertically to hold the horizontal bars makes it stronger? Ive been steelfixing and dont know how it holds its integrity with just horizontal bars not being tied. Could we see a integrity test with a sledge hammer possibly?
Super success super congrats keep up the good work we need super intelligent robots to do everything everywhere way better than humans
So… what about insulation, hvac etc…?
“It’s too expensive and cookie cutter developments” Yet prices were said to be high 400’s and they will all look the same 😂
Talk to Elon. Your future can be eternal.
No EPA on the moon.
Science of technology is so cool!
The problem with colonizing the moon: meteors, no atmosphere to destroy them
Speaking of something benefitial ❤❤❤This is one of my favorite channel. It always makes my week complete! 😊 Despite the economic downturn, I still manage to earn $35,000 weekly from my investment of $3,500 ..God bless Expert David Ramsey
I design and build 3D printers using 3D printers, I don't see this being very hard to do, larger scale will have its issues, but the additive manufacturing is still the key, I would also 3D print the roof on a separate pad and lift with a crane and drop in place, also a trailing arm system with a scraper to trowel the wall flat would also be something I would incorporate into the design, some people wont like the layer lines, if you got the system right, the end result would look a little like preform, and with a master plasterer you could have a lovely flat finish.
This appears to be a solution to sustainable housing. 🎉🎉
Oh yes and they do seem altruistic.
