摘要

The once pristine white floors featured in Relativity Space's PR photos are now scuffed and coated with the residue of a typical machine shop. Inside its warehouse on the outskirts of Los Angeles, three robot arms hang imposingly next to a container filled with a coil of metal wire. The container's lid has a jagged hole as if someone punched through it on a bad day; duct tape has been slapped on to cover the sharp edges. This is a machine that's been pushed to its limits, in service of a lofty goal. Led by its founders, Tim Ellis and Jordan Noone, Relativity is attempting to create 95% of its rocket, Terran 1, using 3D printing, in just 60 days. You read that right: the plan is to go from raw material to a launch-ready rocket in two months. If it sounds audacious, that's because it is. Hugely. 3D printing is having a moment in the spaceflight industry-everyone from SpaceX to Blue Origin to lesser-known startups and old-guard rocket shops are tinkering with the technology, and some have gone so far as to print their own engines from scratch. But even engineers on the cutting edge of 3D-printed rocketry don't know what to make of Ellis and Noone's upstart firm. And more than one think they're just crazy.Traditionally the aerospace industry hasn't been quick to change, and for good reason: rockets are controlled explosions that put huge sums of money and, sometimes, human lives on the line. Relativity is aiming to win over skeptics and holdouts with a test launch in 2020. Thing is, they haven't even printed a whole rocket yet.
