Starting on one side I began to move from one edge to the other until a faint rocking motion could be felt. STARTING ON ONE SIDE I BEGAN TO MOVE FROM ONE EDGE TO THE OTHER UNTIL A FAINT ROCKING MOTION COULD BE FELT
ar satisfaction of having made something and finding that it was good. But that moment was short lived, for another problem quickly presented itself, namely, how would I remove the hang-glider from the tower and launch it. It was far too large to go down the stairs and needed to be propelled to a high speed or dropped from a high altitude to become airborne. Since I had no way of propelling it, I needed to launch it from the top of the tower, which provided plenty of altitude, but then the problem of how to remove it from the tower arose. For a moment I was stumped and almost admitted defeat, but then it came to me. The tower's only weakness was in its lack of protection against a deliberate rocking motion. If I was able to swing it back and forth fast enough by slowly gaining speed and multiplying the momentum, it would be possible to get it to lean far enough that the dome would snap off, leaving the room open to the air. This was possible, though rather unlikely. But I tried anyway.
