I guess there is room for imagination on how to utilize micro-gravity
for setting up vapor or liquid diffusion crystallization
experiments ... but given the cooling capacity offered by the room
next door, combined with a pretty good and cheap vacuum, it could be
fun to build a big rotating anode out there ... and you could save
money from the cryo-cooling too, also for free. I would love to have a
go mounting a crystal or two out there ... but I guess even that can
be done by one of the existing robots modified.

.... would still be a waste of money in terms of practical returns I
bet ... one could learn things about crystallization maybe ...
