"Aside from a minor earth quake, it wasn't too much different from living on terra firma. Except that most of them lost a few pounds, the one smoker among them had to give up her habit because her cigarettes wouldn't stay lighted (not enough oxygen), and the soda pop didn't bubble up." - The New York Times, July 28, 1970
