A period of rapid advance in science or engineering tends to follow the development of a new theory or a new experimental method. For example, development of the wave theory of light led to a new understanding of the elemental composition of the universe, development of the optical microscope led to a new understanding of the mechanisms that cause disease, and development of the technique of gene splicing is leading to a new understanding of the functions and mechanisms of DNA. New experimental methods include not only procedures but also new environments in which research can be conducted. Space is such an environment.
