Foust blocks are smart blocks used to create satellites and other space-based large-scale tools and vehicles. They are named for Becca Foust, an engineer who worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She made a breakthrough while working as a research fellow that allowed them to easily reform into almost any configuration. They are still used over 2000 years later, though the technology they contain has been significantly upgraded since the first ones used in the 2020s.
