The Russians had rotating space stations under the Tsars?


yep, great big flywheels powered by the sweat of a thousand serfs running
around and around. One of the first things the Menshiviks did away with,
that.

Ah, the T35. What a useless vehicle. For all its appearance, it was actually
relatively lightly armored. For some reason, most Soviet "Infantry" tanks of
the pre-war through early war period were slow, heavy, but terribly
under-armored, at least compared to, say, the Mattilda. The only ones which
were decently (even heavily) armored were the KV-1 and KV-2.

But surely the nice thing about software is that you can update it...

In the past Henry has categorized this as a feature, rather than as a
bug as he does here.

Read more carefully, Derek. :-) Being able to update after launch is good,
yes. But there's also something to be said for having at least the basic
functions of the software *working* at launch time, especially when they
play a role in basic vehicle control (as the Lab Module software did) for
a vehicle that isn't tolerant of loss of control.

Especially when another partner's financial woes have conveniently given
you an extra year or two to get the software done.

Bull**** - there's a lot more to counter-acting micro-g environments
than centrifuges. Exercise, isometric muscle condition, medication,
nutritional supplements, etc.

R. Talsorian Games- Deep Space supplement for Cyberpunk 2020. I covered this
in a reasonably thorough manner (for role-playing purposes) in 1993. Herb,
Pootiehead there is just plain wrong.
