It must be weird I think in the B5 universe, to work lets say on B5 as a pilot, have nice gravity etc, then go to you Omega or Warlock, again with gravity.... and then get shoved on to a Hyperion class... must be such a pain to have to get used to low gravity again.

I reckon it would be quite cool. A new experience for people used to living in a world where even spaceships have gravity of one kind or another.

Aside from the physics of motion in space in that Star Fury, he's operating in Zero G while at work.

Babylon 5 for Mice
An experiment conducted at Pioneer Astronautics for the Mars Society
has demonstrated that the Coriolis forces that mice will be exposed
to during the Translife Mission will not be excessive.
Coriolis forces are a secondary byproduct of rotating artificial
gravity systems. It has long been argued by advocates of zero-gravity
space travel that such forces would prove disorienting to astronauts,
especially at rotation rates above 4 revolutions per minute.
The Mars Society's Translife Mission will place a group of mice in
low Earth orbit for about 50 days in a rotating spacecraft that will
supply them with artificial gravity at Mars levels, 38% that of the
Earth. During this time, the mice will be allowed to reproduce and
the young will grow up in Martian gravity. Subsequently, the capsule
will be recovered and the mice and their descendants studied. The
mission will thus serve as a key experiment to determine whether
artificial gravity at Mars levels can be used as a countermeasure
against the well-known debilitating effects of zero-gravity
spaceflight, and to determine whether mammals from Earth can develop
satisfactorily if conceived, born, and raised in Mars gravity. This
question is central to the issue of whether humans can ever settle
Mars, or any other planet with gravity substantially less than that
of the Earth.
In order to keep the size of the Translife spacecraft small, however,
the rotation rate must be high. In particular, for the 1 m diameter
capsule currently under consideration, the rotation rate must be
about 25 rpm. This has caused some to raise concerns that the
Coriolis forces would be so excessive as to disorient the mice and
ruin the experiment.
In order to resolve these concerns, an experiment was constructed
consisting of a mouse habitat positioned on the edge of a turntable
rotating at 25 rpm. This system thus creates 0.38 g in the outward
direction, which combines with a 1 g downward acceleration imposes a
total g-load of 1.07 g's on the mice. While this is different from
the 0.38 g they would experience in this system on orbit, the
Coriolis force is the same.
The system was started on Wednesday, August 30, 2001. Behavior of the
mice immediately after start up was observed to be completely normal,
that is to say, indistinguishable from their behavior before the cage
was rotated. The experiment has continued since that time operating
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The mice have been observed to forage,
groom, drink, eat and sleep. As of Sept 18, their behavior is still
normal and their health is fine.
Commenting on the experiment, Mars Society president Dr. Robert
Zubrin said; "These results clearly show that the concerns raised by
zero-gravity spaceflight advocates over Coriolis forces have been
greatly overdrawn. They show that small low-cost long-duration
artificial gravity experiments with mammals are completely feasible.
Given the consistent record of failure to find adequate counter
measures to debilitation of bone and muscle systems during zero
gravity, these results underscore the need for expanded research in
artificial gravity spaceflight systems. Humanity is not going to the
stars in zero gravity. We need to find alternatives. The Translife
Mission will show the way."
A movie showing the mice living happily in their 25 rpm home can be

That again was a great read. An exciting battle.. and it looks like that Thunderbolt has alot more to it than a simple rogue ship...

Maybe I'm just being dense this morning, but what exactly do you mean?
Either that or he means he's already read the update.
PS: Tell the author that the story is going well. Moving along in a nice fashion. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
