       I was reading this article about the discovery of exo-planets. The coolest thing though? 716 confirmed exo-planets? Since 1992. Wow. The first confirmed exo-planet was only 20 years ago and we've already discovered 716. That's like...on fire for space tech.

Then? They chose a Captain Picard for the Enterprise! (NASA chooses skipper

And just think of all those kinky and forbidden sex acts that will be possible in a space-based culture, the outer zero-g shell will have special rooms for special sex play. Of course, it may be impossible to swing a flogger under weightless conditions, so they will need sex-play rooms in the gravity areas, too.

       Ironically, symmetrical movement (moving your left arm back, while you move your right arm forward, like to hit; or the way a good quarterback throws a football) allows you to hit harder in normal G and should only induce (cancellable) spin in zero-G. Or you could just tether or mag boot or velcro soled shoes.:)
