Electrophoresis utilizes electrical and reduced gravitational forces to seperate mixtures and form pharmacuticals in space which are difficult to produce on Earth. And in other areas of materials processing, such...

Moreover, the role of the military--a vital aspect of any such program--remains ambiguous as well. According to Thomas F.
