(PI: M.E. Musgrave) Note (#5) Mir and STS-87 results. From abstract: "We hypothesize that microgravity limits mixing of the gaseous microenvironments inside the closed tissues and that the resulting gas composition surrounding the seeds and pollen retards their development."

Review. Note C Conclusion of paper: "Previous findings may be relevant in the future to help ageing people undergoing demineralization and osteoporosis. The data also exclude a specific risk of kidney stones during spaceflight and open a window on the usability on Earth of tests specifically designed for space. This is mentioned to convey that 'Life in Space for Life on Earth' is more than a message by space-related investigators seeking support."
