Part 4/7:
The Scientist's Perspective: From Pharma to Space
Interestingly, this drive isn't limited solely to engineers. Scientists, particularly in pharmaceuticals, see space as the next frontier for their work. They recognize that space offers unique conditions—such as microgravity—that could revolutionize drug development, manufacturing, and research.
Pharmaceutical scientists are potentially shiftable from traditional companies like Pfizer, GSK, or Varta to space-based ventures. When they consider space initiative roles, the appeal is straightforward: instead of working strictly within Earth-bound constraints, they're envisioning sending drugs and medical research to space. To them, space applications are just cooler and more innovative.
