NASA To Open Up Space Station

"If all goes as planned, part of the international space station will host research experiments from outsiders after it's completed in three years, NASA officials said Monday."

A poll was taken on what should be studied on the station, here are the results:

"How far will male ejaculate travel in zero gravity?" (65%)
"If you can see god, and if you will subsequently die like the Bible says." (34.9%)
"Research on biology and other relevant space-travel topics." (.01%)

Isn't space travel more related to physics rather than biology?

Actually, they do a ton of biological testing in space. Astronomers know most of the physics, but learning how things grow in zero gravity, how microscopic organisms react, how humans react, etc. is still unknown. Most of the research is directed at long-term space travel, so everything gets put through the ringer.
