Hold onto your butts, creators, because Kickstarter is going full blockchain. In a blog post by CEO Aziz Hasan and co-founder Perry Chen on Thursday, the crowdfunding platform announced that its commitment to a more open, collaborative, and decentralized future via blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The first step will be establishing an independent organization that will oversee the development of an open source, blockchain-based system that more or less works the way Kickstarter already does. When its complete, Kickstarter will switch to it. This protocol will eventually be available to anyone, Kickstarter said, including upstarts trying to compete with it. As a first step, were supporting the development of an open source protocol that w

If and when we send colonists to Mars and beyond, were going to need habitats unlike any weve built before. To encourage out-of-the box thinking, NASA and America Makes are kicking off a $2.25 million dollar competition to design and build 3D printed space habitats. Image: Interstellar Mayflower, art by Stephan Martiniere One of the biggest barriers to the construction of a space colony is shoring up the money to ship the building materials well need. Since it currently costs roughly 10 grand to blast a pound of anything off our planet, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs have been asking how we might get away with less cargo. Indeed, thats one of the main thrusts behind asteroid mining, which could offer spacefaring humans a bountiful supply of water and metals. Other technologies that take advantage of in situ resources have been discussed in the context of a Martian habitat, but so far, the focus has been on how we might get enough water to drink and oxygen to breathe.
