Autonomous Self-Assembling Space Architecture
17:25 - 28:08 (10:43)
MIT's research explores the possibility of using plesiohedrons, which are small self-assembling space nodes, to create a more organic, decentralized space station rather than the typical shell-like structures. This approach would facilitate the assembly of large, sustainable, autonomously-constructed tourist habitats in space.
