Hi Gary

Now that's a damn good idea Gary. Makes Mars colonisation/construction so much easier. I can't imagine a counter-pressure manacle is easy on the hands - the bruising sounds horrible and predictable. Why doesn't anyone ever mention these things in the popular press? Even good near-future SF has missed that one.

        The colonists would need clear eustachian tubes - Gary - 6/6/2005 5:11:54 AM
        
        I doubt Mars would be very healthy for people without suits. - Lee - 6/6/2005 6:18:35 AM
