The world is entering a new era of space science and technology in which satellites the size of a toaster can be launched for the cost of a family car, where Australian students are sending classroom experiments to the international space station, and satellite swarm technology will soon allow precision monitoring of every part of the globe.
Coupled with these advances will be new challenges and opportunities.
Bionic bras, handheld 3D printers for repairing damaged cartilage, shape-shifting medical implants and anti-cancer drugs delivered using nanoparticles. This is not the stuff of fantasy. This is the now.
