Sure. I don't go in for single-biome planets, and even if I did you would be dead right about the possibility of building different sorts of environments as training ranges at a single campus. It is the gravity issue that binds. I think I need free-fall, asteroidal gravity, light, medium, and heavy. So I can get away with a light planet, a heavy planet, and multiple locations in this solar system.
