Rockets might be fiery fun, but they're big, bulky, and heavy. Ion thrusters, sci-fi as they sound, are real and these penny-sized ones are probably the future of steering small satellites in orbit.

This brings a shift from linear, atomised, supply-chain thinking to interconnected, holistic, ecosystem thinking."
