It takes energy, have to design the ship to withstand the rotation, and it would have to have a pretty long radius (like 300+ meters). Almost certainly you wouldn't be at full gravity either, but like half. It adds a whole bunch of headaches that might not be worth it.
- sandworm101 10y agoRings are only one of many 'spinning' options. There is something to be said for two objects tethered by a long rope. Such a structure can spin and still reach 300+ meters with ease. And building such a thing in orbit is awkward, but not in the same league as constructing a 300m ring.
