If you had the opportunity to go into space, would you?

[Sir C]

Surely you can't avoid it? Surely you have to go through it to get from one to t'other? Or am I talking nonsense?

Oh yes, you have to go through it to get from +1 top -1, as you'd expect, but it's a fleeting moment - you don't really sustain 0g for any amount of time. I didn't anyway. It's a pretty odd feeling, not viciously painful like -5, just odd. Discombobulating.
