Manufacturing without the sometimes detrimental effects of gravity is about to become available. During the fluid stages in the processing of some materials gravity induced convection and sedimentation may cause problems. The advent of the space age has provided prolonged periods of nearly gravity free environment and now with much larger and potentially lower cost space transportation soon to be available, permits us to plan the necessary experiments that can lead to space manufacturing within the next decade.
