This might be what space ships are made of.

NASA's new GRX-810 metal alloy may be a game-changer, making 3D printed engine components that can withstand the scorching 2,000°F temperatures of spaceflight without breaking the bank. The primary metals in the GRX-810 alloy include nickel, cobalt, and chromium. A ceramic oxide coating on the powdered metal particles increases its heat resistance and improves performance.
