Yeah.

You know, unfortunately,

We broke one of the test tubes.

So in one of the experiments, there was a bunch of glass in it, which was bad for the cell replication.

But yeah, man, the other results were, and other people have studied this, that things grow very differently in space, one, because of radiation, two, because gravity and the electromagnetic field of the Earth

has a very poorly understood impact on how organisms evolve so like there's this company right down the road from me in el segundo called varda and they launch uh small orbital factories into space because um if you don't have any gravity you can synthesize all kinds of different materials that are too sensitive essentially um to be made within earth's earth's gravity um and so

They're doing all types of new drug discovery.

They're making much more efficient conductors.

We should be making a lot more stuff in space just because of how much cleaner it is, how much more efficient it is.

And I think that we'll see some really incredible stuff in the next 10, 20 years because of it.

What do you think we should be making in space?

Well, one, probably a lot of semiconductors, a lot of chips.

So if you build a computer chip here on Earth, you have to make these insane clean rooms.

Any amount of particulate can destroy millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of machinery and boards.

So if you just launch it up into the vacuum of space and manufacture it there you have an infinitely sized clean room So SpaceX makes the cost of launch cheap enough which they're doing then chip manufacturing will become way more efficient in space Now there's the inconvenience of having to get it up and down from space obviously, but I think that'll be solved for with starship Otherwise, there's a bunch of different medicines that have crystalline structures that are

too hard to make uh in gravity um and so i think we'll be able to cure a lot of diseases with with medicine that we synthesize up there too interesting you think that's and you think that's going to happen within the next decade yeah yeah 100 i mean varda that's the name of the company that's doing the in-space manufacturing they've launched three capsules already and their launch cadence is just increasing um so that'll definitely happen in the next decade interesting delian actually delian is the name of the founder of that company he's a teal fellow as well

Man, I got to get a hold of them.

Milton in Florida.

Yeah, so I mentioned off the jump, the first time that anybody successfully intentionally modified the weather was in 1946 in Western New York.

There was this guy, Irving Langmuir, Bernard Vonnegut, and Vincent Schaeffer.
