Dear Sir:
Ironically and above, gravity is maligned by your own hand. No discomfort is intended by the following: yet, it must be said. In particular, it was written:
“We can create a means by which we leave our planet, venture out beyond gravity’s reach,”
————————-
Gravity is a 1/(r^2) force in Newton’s approximation. It is better to define ‘beyond gravity’s reach’ more carefully in one’s own mind and not to use a florid phrase reflexively - if one would desire to dispel uncarefully formed ways of thinking.

“experiment in the weightlessness of space,….”

Would this condition obtain everywhere in space? If one were to switch on the engines of one’s spacecraft, there goes weightlessness by the equivalence principle. However, one is still in space and is not weightless. (What is sufficient and what is necessary? C.V. Boys could help, but I digress.) Actually, it is the virtue of the absence of gravity in free fall about which should be written. For clarification, one might, indeed, read “An Old Man’s Toy.”

So, I suppose that I will not be stepping off any towers today. B.S. rulez. Peace out.
