Not sure the two are comparable. 300lb obese person's bone structure weighs the same, their heart and lungs weigh the same. I suspect 2x the weight on every org

Not sure the two are comparable. 300lb obese person's bone structure weighs the same, their heart and lungs weigh the same. I suspect 2x the weight on every organ is going to be seriously detrimental for sustained periods.
- partiallypro 7y agoNot to mention you'd go from years and years of near 0G gravity to twice the gravity of earth. You wouldn't even be able to walk.
- ben_w 7y agoCompare to the difficulty of getting there in the first place, getting spin gravity to work right isn’t a big problem.
- rhinoceraptor 7y agoI would assume if we can figure out accelerating to near the speed of light, we'd also be able to make a viable rotating spacecraft to use centripetal force to solve that problem.
- thenickdude 7y agoIf you're making this trip in any reasonable amount of time, you're probably accelerating during the journey at least half a G anyway.
