From: Rick McGeer (on an aaa-60-s) <mcgeer%ucbkim@Berkeley>

	Jerry Pournelle (POURNE@MIT-MC) has suggested ("What's it Like Out
There?" and "Spirals" <with Larry Niven>) that the most popular mode of
transportation in an O'Neill colony would be flying.  Of course, in the
O'Neill colony there would be gravity...

	I can't understand why swimming motions wouldn't work (and didn't,
according to recent postings). After all, motion in a fluid (air) should be
much the same as motion in another fluid (water), and I assure you that it's
possible for buoyant force to just match the gravitational force on a scuba
diver.  Comments from anyone?
