3D Printing in Space
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. But a small company called Made In Space has turned that idea on its head: Instead of designing and building better vehicles to get things into orbit, why not just build those things in space? 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.

Giesswein Merino Runners
Wool isn't just for sweaters. Giesswein takes the age-old fabric and transforms it into a performance sneaker. The Merino Runners features a sock-like upper made from Merino wool with 3D Stretch technology, providing flexibility and durability. Naturally odor-resistant, the material won't smell, so going sockless is encouraged, and its thermal-regulating properties keep feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Humanity's First Interstellar Mission
When Johann Kepler wrote Galileo Galilei that humans would reach the stars on the heavenly winds, it turns out he wasn't just making a metaphor. While we might not ever make it, spacecraft with sails designed to ride a massive beam of light to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to Earth, can. 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.

Nick Offerman On Making Stuff
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.
