GMU:Space Is The Place/projects: Difference between revisions

This work began by following a project sponsored by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute. Vanessa Cardui larvae that flew aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis to the ISS, was also an educational project that encouraged students to take part by creating their own habitats to watch life cycles over the course of aprox. 25 days. Through a process of observation and isolation, both habitats (one on earth and one in space, and the variable being gravity) would attempt to contain life in order to speculate how knowledge gained might apply to humans (and life as a living system) travelling in space and time through the solar system. Might this also effect, mediate and transform life on earth?
