Good morning, mr. ben. it's about 6:30, winston-salem, north carolina. just laying here in the bed, half awake, half asleep, thinking about you. i was, uh, wondering if you were looking after your most
valuable possession--your mind. i was thinking about john glenn, his space journey and all. they said that when you're in space you lose muscle mass...and the body mass...and i wondered if there was
any...end to it. or whether if you didn't exercise in space, how long it would be for you were just...a head, or a mind, and have no body or arms--you would have them but you couldn't use them
I was wondering if, uh, if your body mass would drop to a certain level, and then it would stop right there and keep whatever you needed to use your mind, because it would still be working. 30 seconds remaining...anyway, i was just pondering that. what do you think about that? i hope everything is going all right, i'm going to wake up here in a little while and forget what i was thinking
