The European Space Authority (ESA) has a new programme - 'Fly your thesis'. University students, mainly graduates, are invited to design experiments to be carried out on a Zero-G (ie. microgravity) aircraft.
I'm currently trying to think of something I can submit that would be a) interesting and b) meaningful - not necessarily the same thing. Whilst it would be rather cool to have green glowing plants floating around like little aliens, at a time when politicians and policy-makers are muttering about reducing carbon footprints, low carbon emissions and fuel-conservation, I suspect sending weird virally-infected plants into free-fall for the hell of it would be rather missing the point. And no, the viruses are not from outer space and therefore putting them a simulation of that environment would not be meaningful.
But in case anyone does have an idea that would actually be relevant for the project, here's the link ^_^.
