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

@stux It would be like on the original battle star Galectica where the kids can jump really high. on Earth,.

@zleap Wouldn't it be kids or people from Earth could jump high on Mars? :blobcatgiggle: ~38% Earth gravity ^^
