This article needs a section that discusses the usefullness / potential uses of Artificial Gravity.

- Mike

So, under section Human Spaceflight we have the first sentence "The engineering challenges of creating a rotating spacecraft are comparatively modest to any other proposed approach." which some zealous if ill-informed wiki editor has flagged with "Original Research?". Just wondering what universe this little keener is from where there are alternative mechanisms for artificial gravity which come within an observable universe's distance of being as tractable as rotation for generating gravity. Maybe this fine person would like to speak up and explain why they felt sufficiently well informed to make this comment. And no, I am by no means the person who wrote the original sentence, just a human with a working brain and a passable knowledge of physics (got a piece of paper somewhere that'll back that up).2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:41F4:C18A:9CBF:A083 (talk) 07:51, 24 December 2020 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReader

:The entire paragraph was original research attemepting to come up with proposals. Deleted. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:41, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Spin gravity as described is not achievable.

ZERO gravity times any rotational number equals ZERO.

NASA tests has shown the a liquid spun in a rotating cylinder does eventually flow to the outer edge. However the is NOT have the same effect as gravity, The liquid certainly does not change the faster it is spun.

Weightlessness of space, zero gravity. Using mathematics. Zero gravity times any number equals ZERO! Overtime2218 (talk) 21:53, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

::::Astronauts DO NOT feel the effects of UP and DOWN.

::::Astronauts DO NOT feel the effects of acceleration or deceleration.

::::Astronauts, they do not feel the effects of spinning. Overtime2218 (talk) 23:44, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::True, they do not feel "up and down", because they are in free fall. But it is gravity that keeps from flying in a straight line to the stars. —Tamfang (talk) 03:02, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

:Spin gravity is often called pseudogravity. —Tamfang (talk) 06:05, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

::Space station experiment. An astronaut was spun head over heel approximately 80 times and achieved 60 rpm. The astronaut did not feel any effects. Zero centrifugal forces exhibited. Overtime2218 (talk) 23:12, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Please have a look at WP:NOR and WP:NOTFORUM. This really is not what Wikipedia talk pages are supposed to be used for. MrOllie (talk) 23:56, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
