This is just very cool, in my opinion. I'd especially have loved to see how that last one came out on the shuttle or something, where they'd have an indefinitely length of time for it rather than a few seconds before gravity kicked back in.
It looks a surprising lot like I thought it might, from a lovely, vivid description of something similar in Spider Robinson's book Stardance - anyone else know that one?
