Yeah, that may be so. I can imagine artificial gravity being created by an
electromagnetic field but it that takes lot's of energy and creates radiation.

However, since humans seem to function better with at least some exposure to >gravity, that needs to be provided in some way.

Yes, or else space fellars will get muscle atrophy.

pieces making a full circle and mounted sideways? The new click hinges are
great for octagons, too.

I don't believe that gravity generators will ever be a viable technology. Even if it were possible to create such a thing, they would likely cause a lot of undesirable effects. So I try to design my MOC's (at least my more recent ones) to be viable (...) (24 years ago, 5-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)
