$SPCX - SpaceX Launch Customer Varda Says a Single Flight Could Help Make Medicine for Millions of Patients Michael Reilly, chief strategy officer of Varda Space Industries, told Benzinga in an exclusive interview. The $1.6 billion startup manufactures drug crystals in orbit and brings them back to Earth. For certain medicines, small quantities of those crystals could be used to produce much larger amounts on the ground. "One flight could be enough to make enough drug for millions of people," Reilly said.
