The latter is Jinx, a gas giant moon in the Sirius system, in Larry Niven's "Known Space" universe.

For more, ah, *extreme* examples, see Clement's "A Mission of Gravity" and Forward's "Dragon's Egg".

The only thing I remember is a very old sci-fi story where a ship is stranded on a 2.5G (anti-grav not present) world. The crew struggled mightily to make repairs. It was mentioned that a major problem would be the increased stress upon the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

In the 'Known Universe"<sic?> stories I believe there was a colonyship that wound up on a hi-G world. It was stated that the descendants are immensely strong & powerful but rarely live past 55 or so cuz' their hearts give out.

Hi folks,

I know there's tons of stuff on zero g but can anyone point me to articles on high gravity worlds?

Thanks,

Brett

I'll use Outlook for Android until something better comes along!
