Got One


NASA is looking for ideas. They have asked private sector folks to tell them
ways in which they would want to use the Space Station. No commitment to anything,
just ideas.

I've got one.

I'm an avid follower of the fitness and weight-loss communities.
One on-going problem is how - for people who have lost weight - to reshape
the skin and viscera. Skin is elastic, up to a point, but anyone who has lost
considerable weight has what looks like loose skin, or insides. Could an
opportunity to spend time in low-earth orbit, and experience weightlessness,
help the healing and reconstructive process here.

It's all science fiction, at this point, I well know. But so was going to the moon
not that long ago.
