Can The Human Body Handle Rotating Artificial Gravity?
Artificial gravity for spaceflight is a concept older than spaceflight itself, but we've only ever seen one small scale test ever flown in space. However decades of research have been performed to show that the human body can adapt to the conditions required for rotating artificial gravity.
@stux I guess the issue is what happens when we try and reach a far off planet and have to experience gravity again. Especially on a multi generational mission .
@zleap Even a few weeks or months like to Mars would be an issue with muscle and bone mass loss I think😮
Like people born on Mars, Martians would not be able to handle Earths gravity I guess
🇳🇱
The average time astraunauts spend on the ISS is 6 months, and they recover find for earht gravity. Longest time was 14 months and he too recovered just fine in earth gravity.
So while yes it is an issue, the current methods we have of handling it are more than enough to make it workable and "safe enough"
@stux @freemo Ok i will watch the video, but I assume that it would be possible to adjust the gravty level if artificial, Tuvok did this on learning Curve (ST Voager) to help teach his recruits to be ready for any conditions. I think Mars has less gravity, it may be that you set the gravity closer to that of Mars or reduce slowly en route, so by the time you get there, you body has adapted.
