Why don't they generate artificial gravity in ISS by rotating the ship on its axis, to generate centrifugal force equivalent to gravity?
Can you explain to me why they don't generate artificial gravity in ISS by rotating the ship on its axis, to generate centrifugal force equivalent to gravity?
That's a great question. There are a few reasons why they don't do that. One reason is that it would require a lot of energy to keep the station rotating at a constant rate. Another reason is that it would make it difficult for astronauts to work and move around the station because they would experience a spinning sensation.
