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?

    It’s a book / movie that just came out where the operators of a spaceship continually turn artificial gravity on and off by using spinning to create centrifugal force. I’m assuming there are recently a lot of people wondering this same question.
