In this week’s episode of Space Minds, host David Ariosto speaks with Will Bruey, CEO and co-founder of Varda Space Industries — a company developing in-space pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Varda is pushing the boundaries of drug development by leveraging microgravity to create new formulations not possible on Earth, bringing them back through its own reentry vehicles.

In our conversation, Bruey explains why the economics of launch and manufacturing have finally made this business viable, how Varda’s “microgravity oven” could transform drug development, and why their technology also opens doors to hypersonic applications.
