zero-gee

How are you going to join them - do you want to hold an acetylene torch in the glove of your spacesuit (in zero-gee)?

Maybe laser-welding; that needs a lot of power AND, to my knowledge no one has even tested out welding techniques in vacuum (where the heat dissipates ONLY by inefficient radiation processes, no convection or conduction) let alone trying it in vacuum PLUS zero-gee.

The one major experiment that I always thought would be a 'signature' for a long-duration manned platform (but, AFAIK, has never been attempted at a large scale) is zero-gee nutrient production.

David Leckrone's Premature Judgement of ISS - NASA Watch 2009

He made delicate zero-gee sculptures by lifting small objects into space and then he took digital images of them for his crewmates to see when they awoke.

We all know about zero-gee issues for the bones, etc; the big question is how much gee do we really need; will 1/6 be enough?

This was the zero-gee variant, with a spherical cage; the dogs used the wall only as a launching surface to attack each other.

Jeanne Robinson will update us on her Stardance zero-gee dance film

At least then there was some real engineering involved -- getting a carbonated beverage to work in zero-gee is a non-trivial challenge.
