  • Ok, the quick version:

    I am small waisted and was especially so when I was an underfed child of early teen years. My mother was going through her 4th? 3rd Husband and decided to get married on a cruise ship this time.
    Well on the pool deck there was a water slide and a leak underneath said slide, I slipped on it and slid across the deck under the railing and over the side.

    I didnt hit the water by the way. I hit the balcony railing of the first deck of cabins a couple floors below and bounced into the ship. I then not wanting to get in trouble bolted through the cabin saying something about a hat to the confused people, and told no one.

    I ended up swimming to far on those broken ribs out at the beach in mexico and had to get saved by the coast guard who did not bring me onboard but drug me behind their boat via life preserver I was barely holding onto face down, so assumed the agonizing pain was that and I just sucked at swimming.
    Also brought back Swine Flu on that trip and got my school shut down for handing out some shirts as souvenirs.

    Cause we have lots of places to do science with gravity, its nice to have a place to do science without it.
    And hard to maintain the force without damaging the ship. We have small space stations and shuttles and they would need to rotate really fast to generate gravity similar to earth and that is taxing on the structure and you since your feet would have a lot more gravity than your head closer to the center of the circle.

    If you have seen project hail Mary that is why there is an extendable counter weight actually. It helps move the central point of the rotation further away from the astronaut and let’s it rotate slower and have more consistent force.
