Challenges in space travel, Artificial Gravity.

As we have seen in many movies to create Artificial Gravity you must create a rotating module, artificial gravity that is not gravity, is actually a simile of gravity that would be produced by centrifugal force, but is not gravity has a similar effect, but has some technical complications to resolve.


Recently they proposed using the StarShip by making it rotate, and thus create that centrifugal force to try to imitate gravity, the problem is that the StarShip is too small to do that effectively and those rotating space stations that we see in the movies are enormous and they have to be enormous because if they are small there will be a difference between the artificial gravity or the simile of gravity or the pull that that centrifugal force exerts on your feet, very different from the force that you will have on your head.

If you stood up in one of the StarShip, for example, which is very small in diameter or in a ship that was rotating and had a small turning diameter, you would have a tremendous feeling of dizziness, you would not be able to stand up; Another thing would be, if you don't get enough diameter to have that artificial gravity effectively, it is lying down, if you are lying against the walls during the trip, which is one of the options that, for example, the European space agency has considered.


And even if the ship doesn't have a very wide diameter, it doesn't have too much diameter to make that turn effectively so that you can stand up and not feel dizzy, at least lying down you would be fine and you would feel some gravity which would be Good for your body and your metabolism, especially for a long trip to Mars.




The important thing is that your body feels some gravity or something similar to gravity to avoid certain health problems. Stanley Kubrick in 2001 uses the very real example that technicians usually give, the ship from 2001 A Space Odyssey, in that ship there is no It would work out well, it is not big enough for artificial gravity to work well, those astronauts would feel dizzy when standing up, it is big but not big enough, that is why rotating space stations are not made because it is necessary a fairly large diameter, according to some it would have to be around 450 meters in diameter and one revolution per minute.


I am convinced that they will be able to do it, what happens is that it will already be with materials taken from the moon, in the space industry era.
