And Why Couldn't That Be Used To Test Artificial Gravity Concepts?

Mark Eby — 7/30/2005 2:47:45 AM (archived)

All the dismissal of the concepts based on hypothetical potential problems seems kind of silly to me. You do the best calculations and designs you can, then build, test, refine your calculations/models.

Regards,
Mark
