Seeing a lot here about the weight/cost/efficiently, which makes sense. But one thing that leaps to mine – we know that being in zero G affects animals (I recall a study on birds – they couldn’t feed on their own and had no reproductive urges).

Do we know how zero g/microgravity affects plant growth and metabolism?
