millions of piece parts and a complicated supply chain. a 3-d printing like this reduces the cost, the number of people, the time. normally it takes 24 to 36 months to build a traditional rocket. with 3-d printing they reduce that and when make it in-house in america, it reduces the volatility of a supply chain, it s not parts all over the globe. it won t have passengers yet, but it s the start of potentially making space exploration cheaper and faster and who knows, neil, you might be going to mars in a 3-d printed market. neil: can you imagine being at the office. i have one copy i have to quickly make, no, no, i m too busy with my rocket. where has technology gone? and by the way, we talked about how expensive it is. they didn t put a dollar figure on that. but if you re part of gen x, you can t afford it.
to this hunk of mental behind me. this is the nose cone, the top of the rocket. this is the raw material. tens of miles went into making this. this is one of the 3-d printers. when it s assembled, it s 110 feet tall, 7 1/2 feet wide. earlier on fox business, tim ellis told me how 3-d printing addresses cost. 3-d printing replaces the traditional manufacturing model of giant factories, building products one at a time by hand and a very complicated simply chain. we got the 3-d printer here. the other thing i learned today is the impact on the supply chain. everything is made in america, it s made in this lab. normally you d see hundreds of
done it to them. nearly 7,000 people in the uk right now need organ transplants. sometimes the wait for these lifelines can be long and agonising. and not everyone survives them. we clearly need more donors. but 3 d printing might be able to offer a solution. yeah, scientists are developing a method to create organs from living tissue, which can then be transplanted into patients who need them. and shiona mccallum has been to gothenburg, in sweden, to find out more. it s been more than 70 years since the first successful organ transplant, a kidney. the chances of further operations of this kind being conducted. people who want to donate their organs can have their names put on a computer by using, for example, a new type of driving licence application form. and thanks to the donor register, hearts, lungs
could be printed in a lab. meanwhile, lara has been creating body parts of a different kind. what s happened to my ear? nick talks to a man in a box. and the man hunting the missing cryptoqueen explains how to find someone from a single selfie. even if i posted a picture of me in my back garden, there is a possibility someone could work out my home address, because i ve done it to them. nearly 7,000 people in the uk right now need organ transplants. sometimes the wait for these lifelines can be long and agonising. and not everyone survives them. we clearly need more donors. but 3 d printing might be able to offer a solution. yeah, scientists are developing a method to create organs from living tissue, which can then be transplanted into patients who need them. and shiona mccallum has been to gothenburg, in sweden,
