So the first thing we might do is a zero gravity flight, right?
But if you're working with biology, biology responds on the orders of days and weeks, not seconds.
Affectionately known as the vomit comet.
I have done 14 of those flights in my life.
I've never puked.
My parents would disown me.
But they're amazing.
This is one of the creeper surveys.
I think you raise a great point.
You want to only use space when you really have to be up there.
And so there's a lot of mechanisms and things in biology you can do here.
We just want to get to space for the absence of convection, sustained lack of sedimentation for weeks or months at a time.
So you do a really long-scale experiment like tissue engineering that's going to be economically viable to do in space.
Yes, exactly.
You can always add back in the earth effects in zero GH.
Right, right.
That, it's funny that you mention that.
