On June 12, 2023, SpaceX sent 72 satellites into space, including the 1st factory that will exist in space.
But it all started in 2019 when the pharmaceutical company Merck revealed that its experiment on the International Space Station, to produce the cancer-fighting drug Keytruda, was more effective in space due to the lack of gravity.

Experts also say that products of a very specialized purpose will be able to be manufactured only in such conditions.
