Now we no longer need to take huge structures to the european space station or to the moon or mars etc (apart from the robot obviously). Now we can just sent the ink and beam up the print job. No Astronauts ! Less gravity !
We just send the astronaughts to the new moon base when the robot says it's ready. For some strange reason, it puts me in mind of the pods that those clever little wasps build on my shed roof each summer.
Mind you, wouldn't it be embarassing to go all that way only to find a mangled mess or a "printer out of paper" error.
Also, tell NASA not to forget to press the 'Online' printer button.

What if you already wear glasses? And can you get these at Specsavers?
What if the enemy was dressed as a pantomime horse?
As the pulse enters the material, a second pulse appears on the far end of the fiber and flows backward.
Would it be possible to detect the pulse that appears at the other end of a long fiber for instant communication purposes ?
