Basquatch isn't the first bit of sci-fi to use that sort of logic. There have been several science fiction novels over the years that have used similar premises.

One that comes to mind was a novel by Robert A. Heinlein (I've forgotten the title). In it, there's a scene where the main character is on a passenger shuttle to the Moon, and deliberately wears reflective, wrap-around sunglasses during the flight so he can oggle the stewardesses, who - having been born and raised in Lunar gravity - are gifted with ENORMOUS breasts, which their uniforms make only a token effort to conceal. XD

Not really B.E., but very interesting

There is also Larry Niven's "The Patchwork Girl" from 1986...

Can't say I'm familiar with that one. Google search isn't providing much information either. Care to enlighten me?

Nakhakren: Sounds like The Cat Who Walked Through Walls, perhaps? Or maybe Friday. Heinlein was a dirty bastard.

The Patchwork Girl is a story in Known Space by Larry Niven. It is the fourth of five Gil Hamilton detective stories and the first to be published as a stand-alone novel. It was published alone as a novel in 1986 (ISBN 0-441-65315-4). It was later included in the Gil Hamilton anthology Flatlander.

In a break from his usual ARM duties, Hamilton is an acting U.N. Delegate on the moon, attending a conference on Lunar Law. The Belt Delegate, Chris Penzler, is shot by a laser in an apparent murder attempt. The shot came from outside of the window of his personal quarters, which looks out onto the lunar surface. The only person known to be outside on the lunar surface at the time of the attempt is Naomi Mitchison, a tourist and old flame of Gil's.

Gil believes Naomi to be innocent of shooting Penzler, but discovers that she may be lying in order to hide a more serious crime.

Found a text version of Patchwork Girl and read it last night/today. An interesting story, sadly large breasts are only mentioned in passing a couple of times along with lesser gravity. Outside of that it's an interesting story I feel ended a tad abruptly but was none the less enjoyable.

There IS something like process in one of the episodes, when one or more of the other girls imagines going to the Moon and getting a pair like her's, accompanied with imagined pictures. I don't remember which one, though, but at the very least, it's a theoretical before and after shot.
