Purdue University launches first-ever In-Space Manufacturing university course
Summary
Purdue University has launched the first-ever university course focused on In-Space Manufacturing, led by Professor Ajay Malshe. The course reflects a paradigm shift from short-term space exploration (Space 1.0) toward sustaining a permanent human presence in space, which requires the ability to build and manufacture directly in space rather than relying solely on Earth-launched supplies.

Space used to be about exploration only — you go on a mission for a short time, and then you come back. That's Space 1.0. We're now shifting the vector to sustaining a permanent human presence in space.
