This is very interesting. The little I have read indicates the gravity may be a bit stronger than here. Could make it difficult to get off or get on to.

Still, we may be able to communicate with short, heavy-boned intelligent beings from a world with water.

To quote one of Henry Kuttner’s aliens, “After all, we’re all beings, aren’t we?”

An area long ago and far away?
