Actually, you could simulate the whole thing with vehicles, a bit,  
now. Have everybody sit on a "space suit" vehicle, have them with full  
buoyancy and a few movement controls for attitude jets, then script  
them to track local masses and apply the correct velocity. Mobile  
masses could be vehicles too working on the same principle.
