We don’t know what the future will look like, but there’s one thing we can know without doubt. One day the children who take so easily to the gadgets that flummox their elders will grow up and look at what their children and grandchildren so quickly master and feel as inadequate as we do.Imagine, for instance, a 3D printer that can build a 100-foot-tall rocket or robots made of polymers and muscle tissue. Somebody already has and is moving forward on the idea.Tim Ellis, the 29-year-old head of Relativity Space, constructed a massive metal printer and has a contract with a Canadian company to begin launching satellites in 2021.
