Here’s how thinking about building on Mars can help us build better right here on Earth

Thinking about how to build things on Mars comes with a surprising advantage, according to AI SpaceFactory. The company recently won first place at NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge with their 3D printed Martian habitat, MARSHA. A few months after the competition, TERA, AI SpaceFactory's first attempt to 3D print a home designed for Earth, is now under construction.

The company believes its space construction technology could help us build sustainable and recyclable houses here on Earth, too.
