This isn’t going to end well.

Come on, what could go wrong? /s

Loads of stupid people out there.

I overhead one of them “How is it negative degrees ? You can’t have less than zero! Duh!”

Well, plants and insects are part of it.... What about water, atmosphere, warmth, fertile soil? With the right building, people could grow plants just about anywhere given the controlled environment.

I think what maybe interesting is the reaction of the bugs. Will the insects be able to adapt to less gravity? How will they fair outside of the Earth’s geomagnetic forces?

Seems like an awfully expensive way to go about killing bugs and plants.
