Andrey Rudenko is at it again, but maybe he'll pull it off

Often people try to bite more than they can chew, or they leap before they look, or any other idiom of similar meaning. However, sometimes they manage not to crash and burn.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope for Andrey Rudenko to be one of those few. And for maybe those few to become many.

You might know the man as the one who built his own concrete 3D printer, then proceeded to construct a castle, then a 2-story house, and more recently, plans for a full-sized 3D printed village.

Even more recently, he proposed projects to create desert and moon bases from the very soil on their surfaces, and he has a plan for how to go about it too.

Considering that he's fairly confident in his ability to build a printer that can operate on the moon, maybe he can pull off Stonehenge and Atlantis too.

Those happen to be the other huge projects he intends to undertake if given the chance.

While Atlantis has been lost to time, Rudenko thinks he could reproduce some of the better preserved underwater artifacts. He just needs people to contribute with 3D models of arches, full size buildings, columns, etc., since not many photos of them exist on the net or anywhere else.

Meanwhile, his 3D printer, with 3-5 mm layer printing capability versus the original 10 mm, is ready to do it on standby. It can even do its job using geopolymer concrete, a mixture of volcanic ash and lime that were used in ancient times to build the pyramids and other structures.

The material is stronger and more resistant to salt water and corrosion than regular cement and will match colors and textures better.

Given all this, is it any wonder he thinks Stonehenge is well within reach?
