ISS commander Barry Wilmore mentioned that he needed a specific wrench, so NASA had California-based Made in Space design one. This is the company responsible for building the 3D printer currently installed aboard the station. Engineers created the required wrench in CAD software (Autodesk Inventor), then converted it to a G-code file that can be read by the printer.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

The implication for inventories is really, really big.

No more inventories, no more transportation, just go down to your local print center that has big piles of raw materials and some printers.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy
