But gravity on ships for people and not for pencils? It seems to me that they took the neat pencil floating stuff from the shuttle to the moon and just had to do it too and combined it with the gravity on Discovery. Well, after all, the weight of a pencil ~= 0 compared to the weight of a human. Bye, bye, Newton. (Of course, what direct experience did he have with pencils in outer space, anyway.) I've got something to get off my chest: I liked 2001. Lots. I like Kubrick films (yes, especially "Barry Lyndon"). I didn't like 2010 because I didn't find it a particularly mature film, and it had what I consider to be some major flaws in physics, characterization, continuity, and plot. Frankly, I've always thought god is on Io, instead.
