Re: Arthur C Clarke

Muscleguy,

Now you're just being silly. Lots of people in suits, weight being an issue - why the answer is obvious! The space ski-lift!

Simply extend ramp up the slopes of Everest, past the summit and into space. Equip all astronauts with skis - and have them pulled up to orbit.

Tonnes of gluhwein to be available as apres space - and I'd have thought fondue was a pretty practical microgravity food.

You know it makes sense!
