🧵 Is micro/zero gravity the main limiting factor in long term space colonisation?

Seems like everything else has a solution that will become available in timewith more research and development, but artificial gravity feels like something that is unsolvable.

All you have to do is keep accelerating, spinnywheel wouldn't work because there would be no forces to pull you to the floor, you'd just float while it would move around you

There would be air in the spacecraft, dumbass.

Which would do nothing but float there, dumbass, at most you'll get some drag effects near the walls, you will not stick to the floor like spiderman

Wikipedia and literally every other site says otherwise.

Then do the experiment yourself

Retard, use your brain. In a closed environment, the air inside will be pushed to the walls, pushing any free-floating objects along with it.

No, we have solutions for gravity as in your pic-related, though they're untested at scale.
The real biggest issue is making and running a closed-cycle biosphere indefinitely. Such a thing is very hard to test on earth, and has never been successful.

No, is cosmic rays.

Genetic editing that allows the human body to self-regulat in micro/zero-gravity environments

This is wrong.

I was going to ask if you were a flat earth retard, but this is actually starting to make me question the rotating habitat thing. Is the air and drag enough to force you to the outside and keep you there? I was thinking "okay maybe it isn't, but you could hold onto the wall with handles to get to speed." I'm imagining a rotating drum/cylinder, that you float through the centerline. Stick an arm out and drag would start to force you slowly towards the rotating edge or wall. Once you are there, you grab onto a handle that pulls you along. You attempt to transition into a standing position but are you able to complete it? I guess you are because the force would attempt to send you tangentially to the edge of the cylinder, but there's more cylinder there, so you hit cylinder, that then tries to throw you tangentially but there's more cylinder, so on and so on. I think as long as your cylinder is wide enough in diameter you can comfortably walk.
