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
