NASA has been testing 3D printing in space, and this is an interesting development because this could eventually lead to having the space agency "print" a number of replacement parts. Clearly, when you are in the space station, getting parts shipped to you is more than problematic since a launch to space can cost half a billion dollars. NASA Astronaut Timothy "TJ" Creamer himself says that this would get NASA one step closer to the holy grail of on-site manufacturing: Star Trek's "replication" system.
