| Nov 8, 2022 at 15:30 | comment | added | JamieB | That was my first thought, too. Like, it might work, but the sheer noise of it would be nuts because 1G simulated through air is a lot of air (and then varies based on how you orient yourself). I wonder if it might make an interesting "exercise room", but just spinning the ship/station seems a whole lot easier. Even on the surface of an asteroid you can do those spinny amusement park things if you need gravity somewhere... | |
