    We have the beginnings of replicator technology with 3D printing. You can replicate some things with them but, no doubt, the technology will rapidly advance and we’ll be able to replicate a lot more useful things with 3D printers. Here’s a list of 20 things people might be surprised were created with a Generation 1 (!) Replicator:

    I don’t see them replicating biological matter any time soon though…

    Well, I don’t know about a replicator, Molly, but did you know that a NASA physicist developed an ion-driven starship…okay, spaceship? He was inspired by “SPACE SEED,” the TOS episode that introduced Khan Noonian SIngh to the ST universe. Yes, the Botany Bay had an ion-drive.

    One thing…I have to admit that when I hear the word “replicator” in regards to science fiction, I think of the mechanical spider-like thingies from FARSCAPE.
