gollark: Elimination of air resistance from calculations, no (well, less) need for expensive vacuum pumps in much scientific research, much easier and cheaper astronomy, no extreme weather, completely fixing global warming, no children asking why the sky is blue, no fires, much less corrosion of metal stuff...
gollark: Removal of the atmosphere *would* have many advantages.
gollark: The outdoor rocks might be far away, or too wet or something, or not at the level of difficulty you want.
gollark: It does say to do warm-ups. Just that stretching isn't an effective one. I will have to investigate further or something.
gollark: I see.
