If R-DNA has the industrial possibilities that its proponents
(and Wall Street, apparently) seem to believe, then it appears
that quite a bit of work will be done in that field.  It certainly
seems like the best place to do that work is in orbit (a high orbit
or a Lagrange point, preferrably).  I wonder how much shuttle
capacity such an operation would require???  Plus an orbital taxi/tug
to move between LEO and HEO.  Would the savings for bio-hazard
isolation equipment necessary to work on Earth, pay for an orbital
genetics lab??  --Tom
