....I notice that there's really no commentary on whether or not he
"regained" any semblance of mobility in his extremities during the
brief zero-g moments. After all, one of the features postulated by
those supporting "cities in space" is that low and/or zero-g areas
could be set aside so those who are invalid like Hawking could regain
use of limbs that otherwise could not function where gravity was
concerned.
