Not a good example at all. They still suffer bone decalcification, eye deformation*, blood pressure problems, muscle wasting and etc. The exercise helps, but it's hardly a replacement for gravity. * They have NO IDEA why the eyes deform - but they do, and it seems to cause permanent vision damage. -- Emily Smirle <[email protected]> +613 747 8622 _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
