SHOW NOTES:

The exhaustive Made In Space press kit, with everything you could ever want to know about the company (including great youtube clips of the founding four).

Dated, but hysterical, video of two Made In Space founders taking the ice bucket challenge with dry ice. Please, do not try this at home, or at all.

Andrew Rush’s old blog, IPinSpace. Dormant, but still worth a read.

ABS, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene: Plastic feedstock for a 3D printer, among other things.

PEI, or polyetherimide: Another plastic feedstock for a 3D printer.
