nanomanufacturing

Ed Penhoet described it, after 10 years of funding nanotechnology we have reached an "inflection point" where developing "nanomanufacturing" will be the key to seeing nanotechnology expand into more commercial products.

I believe the original article of this thread was about waiting for nanomanufacturing in order to start space colonization.

The Speculist: Nanomanufacturing: A Prerequisite to Space Colonization

It seems probable then that any space colony further away than the Moon will require at least fab lab manufacturing, if not nanomanufacturing.

The Speculist: Nanomanufacturing: A Prerequisite to Space Colonization

I think it's going to require a lot more than "merely" nanomanufacturing.

The Speculist: Nanomanufacturing: A Prerequisite to Space Colonization

The benefit of fab lab and nanomanufacturing is that it lowers the barrier to entry.

The Speculist: Nanomanufacturing: A Prerequisite to Space Colonization

Then again, he being right might also be a precondition for serious nanomanufacturing, which would bring us full circle to the beginning of the argument.

The Speculist: Nanomanufacturing: A Prerequisite to Space Colonization

'And by the time all our backlog orders have been filled, the United Nations will find that nanomanufacturing can be quite profitable.
