Is any one else out there 3D printing rocket engines, space capsules and suits and useless junk like that?

NASA has reported it can’t go back to the moon and lost its technology to do so; the Deep State zealots need more black ops cash... spent on useless junk.

There is one private competitor that I know that has done launches like SpaceX. There are 3 more that have tested engines and the like and have imminent plans to start offering launch services in the next 12-24 months. But for the moment, SpaceX has the strongest private program I believe. In five years from now, there should be many private launch companies. However SpaceX and it’s rival Blue Origin have heavy lift rockets being developed. So they will have the contracts for the really big stuff.

Everyone that can is 3D printing components for aerospace applications. The printed parts can be as much as 20% lighter which really counts in a flight application.
