This is my question as well. We do that at fairs for fun, a spinning habitat seems very feasible.

- seanp2k2 10y agoFeasible for a few billion people, eventually? This concept has been explored in many sci-fi shows, with the usual solution being to make a big ring and spin it in space.
- avmich 10y agoWe can solve problems incrementally - we often do, and space access history is a good example for that.
- perilunar 10y agoIt wouldn't even need to _spin_. You could mount the habitat on a large, banked, circular track and just drive around it at a constant speed. Or if you wanted to go underground, bore a large circular tunnel and put the habitat inside.
