I started out wondering if this simulation would work again in lunar gravity, and now we also need vermiculture to work in lunar gravity.

We’re already working on worms in space!

Granted these aren’t the works we’d make vermicompost from … but still steps in that direction

Cool. Sadly it doesn’t seem like it was even a goal for those worms to survive.
