Curious about their actual product. Is pharma synthesis actually so subpar in gravity environments that low-Earth orbit synthesis is actually economically more practical? My understanding is that the low-gravity environment primarily affects crystal growth, which I'm not sure how great of an impact of somewhat higher quality crystals can bring relative to their cost.
