Space Puppet Relay Team is an ongoing collaboration between Nick Bontrager and Emily Link which focuses on the ongoing necessity for exploration and adventure, on both the grandest and smallest scale, and the uncertainty and excitement of space travel. As part of this project, Bontrager's puppet astronaut used a 3D printed "core drill" to collect "core samples" which were 3D printed from NASA lunar and asteroid data in materials such as brass, porcelain, UV resin, Red Oak, and aluminum.
