Really the main reasons people go to space is to conduct scientific and medical experiments under no gravity (officially called microgravity). This is the main justification for large amounts of money that are spent on such experiments and human spaceflight.

fantastically unlikely. making use of centrifugal rigidity to simulate gravity is an old technological understanding fiction standby, and it may only artwork with a approach of wheel mind-set. The outer section may look to have gravity, even as it lessened all a thanks to the centre of the 'wheel'. it must be tremendous for some thing vacationing through area and a consistent speed, or in orbit round a planet. In area, any merchandise drawing near the centre may nonetheless have a similar 'ahead' speed because the deliver, and therefore may have a tendency t stay on the centre. In orbit, the deliver (area station) may have an orbital p.c., and therefore any merchandise getting into the direction of the centre may keep vacationing on a similar p.c. because the deliver/area station. therefore does no longer 'fall' out. recommendations you, the station/deliver IS falling in the direction of the planet - it is only vacationing quick sufficient to continuously omit.

Yes - Werner van Braun designed rotating space stations way back in the 50s. I can't find pictures of his proposals on the web.

In the 1950s, Werner Von Braun proposed such a thing, as well as a detailed study of how to get to and colonize Mars. He may have been the first, I believe, but it has been proposed in science fiction hundreds of times.
