But anyway, the power lifting in zero-g is a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energy will need to be expended to make mass A start moving over distance B and stopping again, and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the sport will be to get Mass X from motionless at Point A to motionless at Point B as quickly as possible Zero-gee basketball would be interesting. Zero-gee Ice hockey, um, maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomf Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Ball games on the inside of a cylinder spinning to give artificial gravity would be fun, small enough that you could pass straight upwards to someone in the opposite side. The coriolis effect would do the head in of a poor earthbound human like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 1969. LEM of Apollo-11 lands on the Moon. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". 2011. The parts of a LEO station module mockup are presented in the exhibition hall. No assembled vessel. Start date is unknown. The station to dock them to is twenty years old, and ther's running a discussion if burn and sink it asap, or let it fly a decade more. "Humanity's next step starts here." The steps look somewhat exponential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
