Nasa plans first 3D printer space launch in 2014

I found an interesting article on BBC website.

<Summary>
 
 Nasa is planning to use 3D printer in space, the world of no gravity to help astronaut’s' works in next year. This plan is first time for all human mankind, and also it will make the crafting in space. Nasa is trying to make this machine more smaller to put it in space ship, and space station for sending important data to the Earth. (68 words)
 
<Refrection>

 This machine can help them and space development. I have heard that the 3D printer has many possibilities, for example, it can print the other machine, foods, and even human bone. With correctly program for printing something, it can produce exact stuffs which they want, even if that is difficult to bring or make in space. However, this machine is invented just several years ago, so I think it's too big and heavy to bring. According to the news, Nasa is trying to make it easier, but I worry that will be done or not. The natural resources and fields for living is getting smaller on the earth, so space develop ment is really important. Therefore, I hope this project will success. (122 words)

<Discussion Questions>

1. Japan should try to develop the space more, like Nasa or Russia.
2. What things do you want to bring when you are going to go space travel ?
