MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY→SPACE COMMERCE

There's going to be a very near term trajectory to larger scale manufacturing in some of these manufacturing methods, there need to be proof of concept through the research done on the ISS. Some of that has already been done. There's been initial evidence showing that manufacturing materials using certain methods can be done better in microgravity. So they're a little more farther up on the trajectory. I would say within a handful of years we can ramp up to full scale manufacturing with relatively modest volume size products. But again, these, these products like semiconductor wafers and other medical devices, et cetera, are very, very valuable.
