Sep 29, 2017 at 20:30 comment added Russell Borogove I’m saying that sending LIGO up is easier than sending a pressure vessel many times larger than LIGO up, bringing it back down, and putting LIGO into it.
Sep 29, 2017 at 20:23 comment added LocalFluff If you bring home enough vacuum (if it makes sense to say so), you could dilute the best Earth artificial vacuum by several times in series putting the test article through "collected" space vacuum chambers. If an experiment such as the LIGO gravity wave detector would benefit from more perfect vacuum, it might be easier to bring space down here than LIGO up there.
