For the astronauts of the future. Training started at birth. Though, a centrifugal cradle is still needed to keep the forces steady.

#4The diagrams, which are incredible, intrigued me enough (how is the midwife supposed to observe and assist?) that I actually read further to find out, and wow, I'm glad I did:
> Means are provided to assure the safe delivery of the fetus and to stop the machine immediately upon such delivery. These means comprise a pocket-shaped reception net 88 made of strong, elastic material and supported under tension by tail ropes 89 secured at one end by the tail hook 90 to the tail mast 91 fixed to the outer end of plate 65, and secured at their other diverged ends by the hooks 92 to the thigh holders 68.
Alley-oop!

#10I'm thinking of what is going to happen to the placenta as that comes flying out and your newborn baby becomes a human bola.
