This week on our Deep Space episode, we look forward to the return of Artemis II as we take a look toward the future of space manufacturing on our interview segment. At the time of recording, the crew of Artemis II was heading back to earth. Maria speaks with ⁠⁠Alastair McGibbon⁠⁠, Head of Semiconductors at ⁠⁠Space Forge⁠⁠, about the growing role of low Earth orbit in advanced materials manufacturing. They explore why microgravity enables higher-performance semiconductor production, what problems space-based fabrication can solve for terrestrial supply chains, and how companies like Space Forge are working to scale orbital manufacturing into a viable industrial platform.
