	Actually, since the pull of gravity is 1/6th that of earth, but the
density of the "water" is the Sea is the same, the water wings should be
smaller to provide the same degree of lift.

	Of course, the lack of atmospheric pressure is going to result in the
water wings expanding, perhaps to the bursting point...
