0-G problems

> Selvaraj:

Living in a 0-G environtment is silly, of course, but
for us. I believe centrifugal space settlements is the
way to go; but I repeat: for us. Because we are the
ones that depend on gravity.

I wonder what would have though the first fish that
left the oceans to walk on land (a way to speak, of
course). He had though: Isn't it silly to live without
water in just a 2-d environment, without been able to
sweam, and felling all the weight of gravity against
us? And he may have answered itself: "In order to
survive we'll have to construct sweaming pools on the
land". That's the way we think of space colonization
right now, and it's quite logical to be so. We are not
adapted to that environment at all.

Adaptation to 0-G is a long, very long time business.
By natural selection would it take several mlllions of
years, at least. With genetics, it might take just
some
tens of thousand yeas. That's way out in the future,
so is not practical even to think about, I guess.

So, let's go back to the ground and continue to think
about our O'Neill environments.
