Zero-g Games for Space Habitats

Abstract

The dream of mankind to establish a permanent residence in space is yet to take wings of accomplishment. We are not too sure about the human body’s long term adherence to tough and challenging conditions of space. Also, the inability of various governments/ private agencies to generate finances for developing long term self sustainable biospheres in space has further curtailed these wings. To overcome these hurdles we have designed zero g games for proposed space Olympics. In the paper, details of a few thrilling games have been discussed to encourage physicists to work in this promising area.
