Microgravity Space Labs May Be The Next Frontier Off-Planet

Atoms and molecules behave differently in space, which some drug researchers believe could be the key to developing new treatments. It's why the world's largest pharmaceutical companies are testing models for doing research in microgravity environments and why Varda Space Industries built a lab to make drugs inside a space capsule. In addition to space mining and space tourism, this could become the third big space industry battleground to watch. If it takes off (no pun intended), then this concept of microgravity space labs could find applications in many other industries too.

Coupled with the news that Chinese space scientists may have discovered water molecules on the moon, this is a promising development for a future where space manufacturing could soon be possible.
