Gee, I would have thought you'd want our asnattruos to break 28,000 kph. They need a lot more than that to get BEO, after all!  And I'd probably have to agree that Soichi Noguchi has achieved the best use of Twitter ever. All of us following him hope that future Expedition Crew members step up and go above and beyond like he has!

[[JAXA]]'s [[''Kibo'']] (ki-BOH - "hope") Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) for [[ISS]] has a centrifuge module (CAM), a Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF), and an [[http://kibo.jaxa.jp/en/experiment/pm/aqh/ |Aquatic Habitat (AQH)]].  Kibo will see a number of low-gravity/microgravity experiments on plants and silkworms in its Cell Biology Experiment Facility in its [[http://kibo.jaxa.jp/en/experiment/theme/first/ |first phase of utilization]].  In the [[http://kibo.jaxa.jp/en/experiment/theme/second/pm/ | second phase]], there will be yet more plant experiments, and the first experiments on fish using the AQH.

''Kibo'' is likely to become a particularly fruitful source of data for [[Project Persephone]]. It includes both robotic arms, which could provide experience useful in the design of [[telebots]], and experimental facilities for studying plants and small animals under a range of gravities, which should help set design parameters for [[exovivaria]].
