Yeah, “just.” Every child on a merry go round experiences it. Every car driving on a curve. And Gemini tested it once as well. It’s a basic feature of physics.

Yeah, “just.”
Every child on a merry go round experiences it. Every car driving on a curve. And Gemini tested it once as well. It’s a basic feature of physics. Now why NASA hasn’t decided to implement it in decades is actually kind of a mystery.

From Wikipedia: They were able to generate a small amount of artificial gravity, about 0.00015 g So yes, you need an effect 60 000 times stronger than this. And you want that to be relatively uniform over the size of an astronaut so you need a very big merry go round. Nuclear fission is also a basic feature of physics, that doesn't mean engineering a nuclear power plant is straightforward.

Makes many movements harder and can result in getting sick.
