Glass fragments in a habitable zero-g environment can be very hazardous to the crew, with a potential for causing eye injuries or inhalation mishaps. With the advent of the Space Shuttle Program, NASA had to manage many shatterable items in the habitable compartment, brought to the spacecraft by payload developers, NASA experiments, crew equipment and the vehicle's own avionics and other instrumentation. This effort has continued in the International Space Station Program, and will be a part of every future manned space effort.
