It might be cheaper to create a bio lab in space for high risk research than to actually run one on earth.

I’d imagine the regulatory requirements for maintaining the cdc labs are extreme.

As long as you don't have to send it up in a rocket that could explode in the atmosphere.
You can do gain-of-function research, but only in space.
