Hi all!

My name's Justin, and I've just joined the list. I'm a software engineer
in Philly with a strong interest in both space and environmental science,
so when I found the SSI page, I was thrilled! I look forward to learning
a lot from folks in future discussions. If I offend folks due to a breach
of netiquette on this list, feel free to poke me and I'll try not to do it
again.

Would it be possible to do what Jay suggests if not in zero gravity,
perhaps in low gravity (i.e. the Moon)? Perhaps that would remove your
major issue with his ideas.

Take care, all!
