I’m so happy I was led to this group cause I can share my old concepts while working on new ones!

For context, this concept if for a story I’ve been thinking of that takes place in a gas giant’s planetary systems where there is life and travel between a few of of its habitable moons of various gravity levels. So travel is relatively short and frequent to create a culture where people would adapt clothing to suit travel between the planetary environment and would have little time to do certain adaption prep, like strength training, that a long journey would provide.

    Looks really fricken cool. The kicks definitely rock. Interesting to think about high gravity vs the typical low grav environments.

    That’s cool. They’d need a ton of stabilisation as well as cushioning. The risk of ankle breaks in high G environments would be huge with these unless they had some magic to keep you in line.

    The show version of YT’s smart wheels for her skateboard in Snow Crash.

    Neat.
