Building spacecraft on earth and then launching them into space is fine for small things, even the ISS isn’t that big but if we really want to make larger spacecraft that we will need to grow food on and carry tens or hundreds of people on then we need to build these in space. We are just moving to a stage where we can build simple structures in space with additive construction and robotic assembly will build the first true spacecraft and in this video, we look at how it will be done.
