Part 6/15:
NASA's Artemis program and other space agencies are actively developing such autonomous construction tools, deploying them to build habitats, landing pads, and infrastructure on the Moon and Mars. Companies like Icon and AI SpaceFactory are pioneering similar efforts, developing 3D printers and systems suited for extraterrestrial environments. If robots can successfully build structures in space—lacking atmosphere, with extreme temperatures—they can do so anywhere, unlocking a new era of off-world exploitation.
