If a smaller, movable space station would be possible,
at what size do you think it become impossible?


Far smaller than would be needed to provide sufficient
genetic diversity for viable survival of the species.

And it would have to have enough genetic diversity of all the other animals

Completely impossible to make that moveable.


Wow.
