Tell me again how this is going to work? Everyone seems to forget this stuff will happen. Will crispr be used to give colonist babies ultra dense bones? Will humans be given steroids and other medication to counteract the events of low gravity?

Yes, but they'd still be at higher risk if breaks and other issues from falls and such, or strenuous activities, even sex can cause elderly women with osteoporosis to have breaks.

Basically all of this is popsci or sensationalist.
>bone loss
On the ISS this is due to the CO2 ppm being 150% of what OSHA seems safe levels for one 8hr shift, and they're there for a year. There are identical symptoms on nuclear subs in full 1g. It's also a stretch to 1:1 compare 0 gravity to half gravity.
>radiation
We know what radiation is on the surface, and all calculations have been done with that number. However no one will be laying down exposed on the surface 24/7. If buildings and vehicles are built with some light shielding (it doesn't take much, the atmosphere does a lot), then the vast majority of time will be spent out of radiation. Going by average American numbers of being outdoors, we're talking about ~0.1% of the OSHA maximum yearly radiation exposure. You can also fortify staples with zinc and other immune system boosters to stop cancer where it starts.

But we know stress and loading on bones causes bone loss and the research points almost entirely to the lack of gravity. The more weight and stress your bones take, the stronger they get, hence athletes having denser bones than lazy office workers, and why inactive fatties and old people have denser skeletons than their thin and equally inactive counterparts.
>>16492789
>>16492791
There are more forces that are exerted than just gravity, like I said it could be from sex, driving vehicles or flying spacecraft etc. And if we live less physically active in mars as we do in todays society, we'd have very weak bones that could break from all sorts of mechanical loading disasters, not just gravity specific.

This is one of the major issues with colonising and living on mars, and you just ignore it? They believe 2 3rds of astronauts will have osteopenia and a third will have osteoporsis from traveling to mars alone.
It can take an astronaut over a year to regain pre space flight BMD, and that's from shorter space flights and on earths gravity. On mars i could take even longer, and likely never regaining the initial bmd pre leaving earth.

They aren't fine after a few days. They have to rehabilitate, go for regular checkups, and they nay need to go on medication. Women also experience accelerated osteopenia post-menopause, which is only going to be exaggerated by long term low gravity. We find athletes that don't undergo high stress can have average to sometimes slightly lower BmD if spending large periode of time immersed in water, even cyclists had lower pelvic bmd from sitting on bikes and muscle bearing most of the loading.
Your heart will develop weaker, especially for those born there. We are talking about gravitt 70% weaker, that is dramatically significant, in a very low density atmosphere.

Humans who are there for over 6 months show considerable bone loss, up to a year and they've lost 12%+ of their BMD and could be in osteopenia. If they are over 40, they may never recover full prior BMD, as has been seen in current astronauts. This is also upon return to earths gravity, whereby they also stay in medical facilities for a while, have rehabilitation work and are looked after.
Now you have mars, where there is no infrastructure to help rehabilitate and look after you, where every other human will be extremely weak too, where your body will never recover because the gravity is so low and your body is bombarded with higher levels of radiation and indoor Co2 constantly.

There are plenty of papers talking about how astronauts away for over 6 months never regain their pre-space BMD and age their bones by a decade atleast. They have to be careful, are told not to engage in strenuous activity and always undergo a period or rehabilitation. Many can't walk when they land.
People will experience a year to get to mars, then several months in a buch lower gravitt environment impeding their recovery, then a further year traveling back, by which they're predicted to lose 32% BMD, giving them osteoporosis to a high degree.

We know no gravity and low gravity causes issues, we know low activity levels reduce BMD, we know low weight bearing exercises such as swimming and cycling also substantially loeer BMD recovery raights compared to weighted and impact exercises. It is not a stretch to know that a 3rd of the gravity will be a farcry from healthy recovery rates, especially considering on top of that our body is struggling to pump blood and work in a normal fashion.
Astronauts commonly talk about Earth feeling heavy and like lead, something especially common in long-mission astronauts.
You're gonna need a mix of medication, specialised training and diet to recover, and even then it likely won't be enough.

Basically you just put the whole thing on hinges so when it stops spinning the "floor" gently swings down to a level position. Like pic related but bigger.
The simplest would be to have individual rooms on rigid hinged arms, but perhaps you could build some sort of telescoping structure that expands/contracts to connect the rooms as it spins up or slows down. I think the latter might present a safety issue.
Keep in mind that the rings would not have to spin as fast to reach 1G. On Earth the amusement rides have to spin faster to get up to like 3G.

The main drawback of course is that the entire ring must stop for people to enter/exit. So you'd probably use it as a public gym.
Maybe some day you'd have enough resources for everyone to have their own personal ring as a living quarters.

the problem with small fast rotating false gravity rings is that it fucks with your inner ear and can cause sickeness. a better solution might be just to build a few very long train tracks that enable the passengers to experience 1G for half an hour or so in either direction. the cars could rotate for the deceleration phase and back again for the return acceleration. its just a suggestion

What if we launch a meteor at mars, but just to clip it? Put a little spin on it like a cue ball? Could we get it spinning faster and thus increase the experienced surface gravity and reduce the incoming radiation? What about a giant reflector in space to focus sunlight on it and warm it up?
Could you do the same with Mercury but with a shade instead of a lens?

The shade plan would work but be very expensive. The mirror is a non-starter.

Get richer than him and I'll believe you.

Oooh, could work, sounds kinda cool and fun and if it's all enclosed then you won't feel it. When you join and enclave you could get into a cart that matches it's speed then just step into the main room.

Nah, the whole base could be on a slightly tilted big ring.

Over time you'd get acclimatised to it, no? Like being on a ship.

Yeah it is hypothesised that we can use satellites to warm it up and melt ice slowly, then put a bigass space station infront of mars, facing the sun to enduce a magnetic field to protect its atmosphere.

Isn't the real problem with Mars is it has a dead core so it's not negating any solar waves?

I don't think you can ever get used to centrifugal force as a replacement for gravity because you're dealing with an axis of rotation and how you are oriented with respect to that axis.

You could have the banked train track simply run in a big circle, could have a quite large train habitat that way. Would be a good place to keep the pregnant women & young children, if it turns out they need more gravity for proper development.

There are proposals to put a big ass electromagnet at Mar's L1 point, to create an artifical field shielding the planet. It would need about a gigawatt of continuous power, so either a full sized nuclear plant or a ton of solar panels, but not completely undoable. Honestly it might be a good idea to build one of these for Earth too, as an extra layer of protection against solar flares.

An artificial field shield.
Ain't that a tongue twister.

Unlikely. You can use a superconducting magnet, and industry has a lot of experience in making these big, for use in MRI machines or in ore refining.
With that in place you only need power to maintain the cryogenic condistion and also for station keeping.
