At around $10,000 per pound, shipping anything into space is extremely expensive. Most of the brain power in the new space race has focused on more efficient, multi-use rockets.

In March 2016, Made In Space sent their second 3D printer to the International Space Station, giving interplanetary travel a huge boost in the process.

The Atlantic looks at how this technology could get us to the stars, with spaceships that cost as much as a smartphone.
French Onion Barb
Now Netflix is just being cruel. After leaving Barb in the Upside Down with no explanation about her health or safety, they're making a mockery out of our favorite Stranger Things character by turning her into a soup.

Turns out that the the "character" Nick Offerman and the man Nick Offerman aren't too philosophically apart. In this sit-down interview with Sam Jones, Nick gives his thoughts on the all-American pastime of buying stuff, the importance of making things, and giving children the opportunity to see that not everything has to come off the shelf of a massive box store.
