In an attempt to help steer D&ST away from its normal Iraq/Israel rut, I found this article on space.com, and it made me wonder. I decided to post it here because I consider space exploration and activities to be a subject for serious talk.

Will extreme sports in space, whether by suit or by orbital stadium, become popular or at least noteworthy within 150 years?

Doubt it. Since those athletes will have a hard time moving around. I would say somewhere in the far future.

It would be fun, ever since reading enders game all those years ago I've wanted to play the game they were in zero gravity.

Yea I don't think so. Mostly because the human body does not tolerate zero-g very well.  Spend 1-2 weeks in space you will lose about 10% muscle/bone mass.  Those are some of the effects.  Other ones also include blood pressure problems and the fact that your equilibrium may not know how to deal with it ether.  You may get very disoriented.
