printing humans on other planets

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/our...-other-planets

An idea proposed on the Jack Crossfire blog finally hit the big time: synthesizing humans on other planets instead of transporting them. The 1 lone blog reader needs to look up that nugget & PM the link. It wasn't 3D printing specifically, because no-one made any money on 3D printing in those days, but it was beaming the information contained in a human to a machine on another planet that could synthesize a replica of the human, consciousness & all. The idea has been around forever, but this was the most prominent person to quote it.

For better or worse, an idea still needs gatekeepers to become official. Now if only Neil Degrasse would quote it.
