Do you consider the film Die Hard a Christmas movie? (User Poll by eric3579)

U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville

GeeSussFreeK says...

O wow, long time no sift, sorry. Once my account got locked at work, I just never visited anymore.

But I got to head out to the rocket center for the random acts of intelligence show, it was pretty awesome. All the video here is just from one of the 2 building...so ya, worth a trip!

The Saturn was more amazing than I had imagined. I always knew it was big, but seeing it sprawled out on the ceiling is indescribable. Imagine a 30 story building filled with explosives, lit on fire and hurling itself into space...because that is what this is. I have lots of pictures if people want to see, I will surely share them.

Glad to see sift is still alive and well. The sift, specifically a video by @dag, basically changed the course of my life and I am now pursing a degree in nuclear engineering, so thanks for that. Anyway, if I can figure out a way to change my name, perhaps I can once again partake of some sift action.

3D Printed Houses In China

EMPIRE says...

I'm pretty sure the future intentions for this technology is to have a printer you can move to the site, and it would build the entire house structure over several days.

But of course this still needs a lot of work... those walls look terrible and rough as hell, and they're almost completely hollow, so unless they filled it with insulating foam, the thermal properties of the building must suck.

IF this type of technology reaches the point where it can build houses as good as a regular one, AND it can also reduce the price by a good chunk... then it will have a huge impact on construction. This and also the pre-built structure format. Let's not forget the chinese built a 30 story hotel in just 15 days, two years ago:

It doesn't seem all that useful to 3D print walls, since there are traditional building techniques that have better results and are likely quicker.

The only way I could see this being advantageous is if you can roll the printer into a job site and it can build the walls with a single worker.

The title should be more "30-Story Building Assembled in 15 days". I'm willing to bet more than 15 days went into prefabricating all the parts. I'm also skeptical of some of the claims: 5x more energy efficient (than what, and how is it measured?).

Still, pretty neat. I wonder what it would be like to stay in that hotel.
