We do such things using mind. And what is mind We haven t a clue. Twenty-thousand years from nomadic hunting and gathering to cybernetics and spaceflight. And we are still accelerating. There are yet more waves to come. From the Model-T Ford to the starship one hundred years. From the fastest man on earth being able to move thirty miles per hour to nine miles per second sixty years.

The rational behind some of the more significant materials processing experiments that have been carried out in space and their results have been presented along with a few key references that describe the experiments and their results in much more detail than could be presented here. The list of experiments and the publications that have resulted from them are by no means exhaustive. More detailed results from the U.S. experiments can be obtained from the Mission Science Review reports available from the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL. The European results are available in the EEA (Erasmus Experiment Archive) http //spaceflight.esa.int/eea/.
