The traditional solution is to replace acceleration/gravity with surface tension, using various types of Propellant Management Devices (PMDs).[0][1]
When last we saw our heroes, the stated plan was to solve the problem with milli-g acceleration via small thrusters.[2] That was 2017, but so far there's been no indication this part of the plan has changed.
