I love how this is a complementary technology to 3D printing by the way of a traditional printer. Simple. Effective. The biggest obstacle for widespread adoption might be software, in other words a robust toolkit for designing "wraps" of these imprints for your own 3D models.

Oh wow. If you follow the link to tksharpless, they have a YouTube video. I got dizzy when I stuck my nose right up to the screen.

At 52km you don't need heating, and in the case of a breach the clouds would stay mostly out because of equal pressures on both sides of the dwelling. A scientific outpost, like those in Antarctica, would be highly appealing. For permanent settlement, Mars takes the cake.
