Two sides to the same coin. When as a kid I loved the tornado ride It took the floor away under your feet and you did not fall. TreBert

China being commie will not steal and man will go further in space. Its so sad Its so true. TreBert

Idiot. 2001 was *fiction*. Large rotating objects need large bearings, and *balanced loads*. Keeping the load balanced will be a problem if anything moves. Earthbound toilets assume gravity. Wanna know how it's done without gravity? http://settlement.arc.nasa.gov/CoEvolutionBook/SPACE.HTML#There%20Ain%27t%20No%20Graceful%20Way Mark L. Fergerson
