Mr. Pieniezak,
You grabbed the words right out of my mouth. As you point out, if you were
moving containers in space, the “Upside-down” notion is relative. Equilateral
triangle cross sections (or consistent trapezoid cross sections for that matter)
could be connected in alternating patterns, or they could be connected in such a
way that they would form great cylinders, or giant “Container Tubes”. They
could connect to one another in such a manner that they would radiate outward in
an even thickening cocoon around the outside of a transport. In Zero G, your
options are greatly increased. Only then I look at that excellent train and
realize that if it takes that much train to move those containers…then the
gravity is probably pretty close to normal, and I am forced to conclude that
trapezoids simply look cooler than rectangles… Attack! Mike
