This is actually pretty interesting.
On June 30, its first drug-manufacturing experiment succeeded in growing crystals of the drug ritonavir, which is used for the treatment of HIV, in orbit. The microgravity environment provides some benefits that could make for better production in space, overall reducing gravity-induced defects. Protein crystals made in space form larger and more perfect crystals than those created on Earth, according to NASA.
Unfortunately there’s no info on why it’s being denied reentry. (But my money is on the long standing secret policy of the dark world government lizard cat people to not cure space aids)(I also don’t have any money)
A spokesperson from the FAA told TechCrunch in an emailed statement that the company’s request was not granted at this time “due to the overall safety, risk and impact analysis.”
That could mean so many different things.

And I wouldn’t doubt that that played a huge role in the decision, but I’m curious as to what, if anything, changed between when they created the mission profile /launched it, and now. Did they not get some basic permit to launch it that also included the entry plan, which was approved?
That’s what I’m unsure of.
I think they’re more worried about it landing on someone’s head.
Nah, they’re probably afraid subject else would get to it first and steal trade secrets. The Greed Principle overrides Occam’s Razor.
Could just explicitly mean impact analysis, like we’re not cool with what happens if the parachute burns up or fails to deploy.
Yep, definitely an option. I guess I’m just confused as to why this is just now a problem and they didn’t have a plan from the beginning. Or if they did, what changed?
Right? Like was the kickstarter only partially funded ;-)
Man I really enjoyed Inside Job, I hope they get to finish the storyline.
Is there precedent for shows that Netflix canceled getting a chance to finish their storylines?
they go to Adult Swim
Hey leave the kitties out of this
Space drug manufacturing? Dope as fuck
Their drugs are out of this world.
Higher than you’ve ever been
Should try EVE. It’s lucrative as fuck.
Nothing hits quite like ninja huffing in wormholes.
Y’all got any more…
