Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The article doesn't really go into it further, but i assumed they are just trying to see if it can be done cheaper in zero gravity.

I was just making a joke about having to go to orbit for treatment. It's lame, I know.

Nah, I just saw the other comment as well and wanted to try to clear things up. I made the joke first in the post and was afraid people would think I as serious.

It's not about cheaper. You can grow crystals in zero-g that won't grow in 1g, and those crystals have the potential to outperform what we make on Earth.
