Thank you. That was all quite cool.

Is there anywhere in the world, like maybe a rain forest tribe or something, where brachiation is a regular way for humans to get around?

I look forward to seeing what we do when we gain access to low gravity. Everybody thinks about jumping twenty feet into the air or something, but I expect brachiation to gain favor. Maybe I'll live long enough to find out.

Again, interesting observations.
