Everyone do some research on self-replicating habitats and post summaries and key points to your journal. Your search should consist of existing documented work or concepts done by others (i.e. excluding this class). Find at least two topics/articles/sites. Think about what you have learned thus far and how others have incorporated the things you may have come across and addressed the various issues regarding this topic. Be prepared to discuss your findings during the next class.
