So on the first two, the convection and the lack of sedimentation, you can do tissue engineering in zero G in a way that you cannot do on Earth.

And a wonderful example is this company, LambdaVision, that's doing artificial retinas, takes 200 layers of a really delicate little protein.

And if you do it on Earth, you get little sagging effects.

And with 200 layers, that amplifies the error.

It's not Lasix.

Yeah, it's a different process.

It's bacteria, rhodopsin.

Yeah, so it's making, Lasix is when they use light to make a change to your eye.

This is growing a new retina in space that is, because you're floating, you get this perfect little cell matrix.

You get this perfect structure.

They have figured out a way to stabilize it and bring it back down to Earth so that you can actually have the surgery and the implantation on Earth.

Exactly.

Low Earth orbit manufacturing, ball bearings, tissue engineering, fiber optic cable.

Yes.

They'll be brought in.

It's true.

And a great example of that is Merck's cancer drug, Keytruda.

It's a $30 billion cancer drug.

That's right.

They took it to space.
