We all know the pictures of the astronauts on the ISS floating around. We also suspect that a lack of gravity is bad for the body as the muscles go weak and such.

Why don’t spaceships just rotate to cause the effect of artificial gravity through centrifugal forces?

    We don’t necessarily need a full 1 G. We could probably get away with 0.5 G or even less. I wonder if things get more practical if we just have enough artifical gravity for orientation, standing, and sitting
