Swimming Pools in Space - Lap Swimming in Zero Gravity
Sunday December 31, 2006
Someday science fiction will be fact. There will be hotels in orbit around the Earth. Without a doubt, some of these will want to offer guests some of the extras that they find in traditional, Earth-side resorts (as if being in space was nto enough?). This paper considers one possible facility in an outer space sports center - a rotating, artificial-gravity swimming pool. (Space Future)
If this really does become a reality one day, it would be awesome to see this tried out. However, having to wear an oxygen support system would take away much of a more natural swimming experience.
hay! i wanted to know if you can swim in space water because it always float’s so can you? and are they making a swimming pool in space or something. Do you have any pic that i can see because i thing it is very cool.
