    Organics by themselves aren’t a deal breaker, and dried petals could work well. One of the main concerns (but not the only) is that an animal ends up in the experiment, and therefore the rocket, because that’s a big no-no. Petals are thin, and difficult to hide in. I’ll put that on the list of things to maybe send up.

  • Anyone can just pay Blue Origin (or SpaceX or whoever) for space on their rockets. I didn’t pay for it personally, of course, but when the stuff that payload was bought for was built, there was spare mass, volume, and time, so I got pretty broad discretion to do whatever I want, provided it’s all within the guidelines and outside of the 9-5.
