[SpaceProgram] Made-in-Space Parts Could Beco... (space.com)

[Alex Cureton-Griffiths]

Agreed. This would be an awesome project to do. It encapsulates a lot of smaller projects and focuses them toward a larger goal, and will have definite value and purpose in pushing mankind into space, as well as fixing a problem that clearly exists at present (i.e. having tools to make components to repair/augment spacecraft means a big reduction in weight/cost since no need to carry all the spare components themselves)

I think a hackerspace in space would be a fun project. It would need
extreme ventilation and air filtration. Big inflatable bubbles around
each area. Gravity can be had with a centrifuge. Each item could be a
funded HSP project
