I like the idea of sploooshing around in a sublunarrean swimming pool at 1/6th g.



That's actually a very interesting idea I have never thought about? How slow would the water fall down and when splashed? Would you have to be careful not to smack the water a whole bunch least you suspend to much mist in the air to make it hard to breath for a while? What would it look like to splash around? I would love to see some cool physically based gpu renderings of what hydro stuff would look like in low g.


Quite a few of the consequences are discussed here: https://what-if.xkcd.com/124/


Lol...of course there is a xkcd for the topic... I should have known. Thanks for the great link.


Great read.
