If a full 1.0g is required, that also makes it a much more difficult challenge on the moon. Spinning a module of a space station in zero g is one thing... trying to get a portion of a moon lab at 0.16g to 1.0g is a different challenge.
- shkkmo 5y agoThe advantage I see on the moon is that you have local mass to use. Yoy can build a large, banked circular track underground ground and then add cars as you expand.
- sbierwagen 5y agoUh, if human habitation on the Moon requires living inside a centrifuge, then there won't be a human colony.
- shkkmo 5y agoIt depends on how much gravity is needed for how much time to stave off the long term effects of zero gravity. If we're lucky, then just sleeping at a higher G may be enough and you just need the bunks built in a centrifugal train.
