Only vaguely related, but it'd be interesting if NASA engineered a self-contained terrarium-like ecosystem, put it in orbit, and watched what happens.

- dTal 5y agoNo need to put it in orbit. A self-sustaining sealed ecosystem is a vital piece of research and engineering for us to do before we leave the planet.
