Besides all of the beneficial aspects of gravity that help us every day, gravity is kind of an inconvenience when you think about it... it means that we have to exert a massive amount of energy to get places, it causes things to fall to earth, it caused Isaac Newton to get a headache from that apple that hit him.

In fact, one engineer hated gravity so much that he devoted his entire life to fighting it. That man's name was Roger Babson.
