So- shouldn’t this mean that space programs should start building artificial gravity-generating centripetal motion rotating loops in space stations from here on out, as well as eventual long distance spacecraft? The bone loss experienced when actually on the surface of Mars will be tricky, though. Unless they can somehow bring the spinning loop onto the planet.

There's no data about bone loss on mars gravity. There's no reason to believe there's a linear relationship between gravity and bone loss (we only have two data points: 1G and 0G). Bone loss may be preventable with pills or special suits or apparatus. But I agree thet we should start developing artificial gravity anyway.
