"Space Drugs Factory and Varda Denied Reentry to Earth by USAF and FAA"

Varda Space Industries, the first orbital factory, has been denied reentry to Earth by the U.S. Air Force and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) due to safety concerns. The company successfully manufactured crystals of an HIV drug in space but is now stuck in orbit as it seeks a solution. Varda Space's request for reentry was denied by the FAA, citing safety, risk, and impact analysis. The company's spacecraft remains healthy, and it is collaborating with government partners to bring the capsule back to Earth. The regulatory requirements that have not been met remain undisclosed.
