The complete absence of gravity — a sensation which no human being has ever experienced since the beginnning of the world, yet which is mysteriously familiar in dreams — will have a profound impact upon every type of human activity. It will make possible a whiole constellation of new sports and games, and transform many existing ones.
This final prediction we can make with confidence, if some impatience; weightlessness will open up novel and hitherto unsuspected realms of erotica. And about time too.
// A.Clarke, Profiles of the Future, 1964.
