Other than research, is the idea that this would be used for very expensive, made to order treatments? When you have to pay to launch the mass of the medicine into space, I can’t see any other model being economical.

AFAIK launching into space isn't actually that expensive anymore for the volumes and masses we are discussing. I'm pretty sure they get into the numbers inn the linked podcast but honestly don't want to relisten to the entire thing to be able to quote exact numbers.
Hmm okay I’ll give it a listen. I get a bit intimidated by podcasts.
