I went to all of the exhibits. It's an awesome museum! Two thumbs up if you get the opportunity to go.

Yep, Russian rocket designs were extremely advanced compared to US.Oh Fox News, you so funny!
Funny story: When the USSR collapsed and the old Soviet space programme went public, NASA looked at the engine designs and crapped their pants. The Russians were doing shit with engines in the 60s that NASA had consistently written off as unviable well into the 80s. So yeah, it's possible that there was a production flaw or degradation over time in one of the specific engines for that launch but the designitselfis solid as hell.

Russia isn't inferior in everything.
Just most things.
But seriously, Russia has always had smart scientists. They are hamstrung by the lack of funds due to the asinine political system and corruption into weird compromised designs, but your guys are smart. /props

You aren't in a scientific field or at a government/military research institute in the US, are you?Russia isn't inferior in everything.

The 3d printed food machine they've shown is probably half bullshit, but the idea of creating an infinite variety of foods from ~20 base ingredients is much different than creating 20 different types of soda from carbonated water and 20 different syrups.3d printing seems to have a very loose definition. If that is 3d printing a Pizza then I suppose a soda fountain is a 3d printer.

That's true except that machine doesn't do that. It's simply putting shit in a can and squirting it out. NOw find me a machine where you can put in spices and base shit like flour, water, etc then you have something. It would have to be fucking huge though and not something that can fit in someones kitchen.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for impactfulness... are 3D printers in the 10-11 range? In 50 years do we all have 3d printers? Will they be staple items for an average person?
