Of course they could - this is just another area where Virtual Reality
will come into its own...

Virtual space travel and construction is much safer than the real thing!
Major cock-ups needn't involve loss of life, so I think this should
justify more VR space research...

(They don't need feeding or oxygen and don't produce any awkward waste
either... )

Anyone know what's going on?

Andy.
