    Could this be the moment that drug manufacturing takes off in orbit?

    NASA has enabled scientists to study the impact of microgravity on drug development, leading to notable successes such as growing a uniform crystalline form of the cancer drug Keytruda. This has opened up possibilities for commercial applications in making drugs in space. NASA has subsidized much of this work, paying for research transportation and astronaut time.
