What would be the effect upon me if gravity were removed, and removed it would be at a point some thousands of miles away from the moon?…
This is certain: as I approach the moon I will have the sensation of falling headlong through space – a terrifying sensation, which it might be impossible to counteract by the force of the will … In the absence of hand-rails or straps, I should very likely sooner or later find myself sprawling in mid-air, unable to move my body from place to place in the car.
