Space-Age Materials

Numerous everyday items are made from materials that would have years ago been space-age designs of the wildest science fiction. Now, those dreams have come true and through low-cost manufacturing have changed the way people live on a daily basis.

Space Engineering

The rise to space opened doors for materials engineering. On Earth, the effects of the planets gravity undermine how far, or how cheaply, many processes can operate. From allow fabrication to chemical engineering almost all high-level disciplines have benefited from the shift to space. This boom of the space-age engineering was recognized as the ZeroG era in science.

In ultra-high orbit around planets, as well as in deep space on stations and roving science vessels alike, manufacturing facilities are able to turn out cheap, quality products. These ZeroG labs and factories have helped build favor for "natural" cafe's and bars which do not employ AG systems. These are wildly popular amongst workers and scientists who grow accustomed to the low and zero G environments where they work. Workers in the labs, factories, and "natural cafes" must follow stringent workouts routines alongside supplemental diets to protect against low gravity muscle atrophy.
