Most were no more than quick, springy bobs, but some were deep and slow and wonderful to watch."

Space-made crystals, say the experts, could be larger and more uniform than those made on earth. Other possible orbital products: high-purity glass, new alloys, higher-yield vaccines. Says Jerry Grey: "These aren't future technologies. They can be used today." Adds Merrill Lynch Analyst Ed Greenslet: "The important thing is that the shuttle is now there. Things that are there often start people thinking and evaluating what could and should be done with them...
