Seven Gravities

I think that Jupiter has 2.5G? Ramnu has 7:

"Our cardiovascular system isn't built for [seven gravities]. Gravanol and tight skinsuits help, but the stress quickly becomes too much."
-A Stone In Heaven, VI, p. 84.

This is the fourth post to mention gravanol. See also:

Thus, gravanol exists in at least three Andersonian future histories.

Kaor, Paul!

Just the IDEA of trying to move about on a planet with a gravity seven times heavier than that of Terra makes me tired! (Smiles) And I had thought Imhotep, with a gravity only 30 percent more than that of Earth's, bad enough. With conditions so tough on Ramnu it's no surprise the research base there was so small, and even marginal.

Ad astra! Sean
