Scifi board. Will there ever be gravity in spaceships?

Will there ever be a space resort where I can rent a room with zero gravity. Then, I can do shrooms and float around.

Just put your spacecraft on top of a really big object and let that object's gravitational pull do it's thing.


How you are going to launch with that I haven't the foggiest.

According to the movies, you just have to spin the ship and it creates its own gravity. Never even considered if that is a valid theory.

It pretty much is. 2001 actually does a fairly great job of illustrating the concept.

Cut my theory down by a step. Government will never approve.

Build it in space. It wouldnt cost as much because it wouldnt be as hard......because things are lighter in space.

The most realistic method of producing artificial gravity aboard a space station is using centripetal force to produce a pulling sensation toward the "floor" that would mimic the effects of gravity. Physics blogger Matthew Francis tells PM that it's a lot like one of our favorite boardwalk attractions. "If you've ever ridden on a carnival ride," he says, "you know that spinning very fast makes you feel heavier, and can even hold you against the wall of the ride if the floor drops—like in the old Gravitron ride." In a rotating spaceship, objects inside would be pushed toward the hull.

In a spaceship designed to produce artificial gravity, you'd walk around perpendicular to the "wall" you were stuck to, and parallel to what would, in a Gravitron, be the floor. The wall would become the floor, and the floor would become the inner wall of the ship. A person can get a pretty good idea of what it would look like from 2001: A Space Odyssey's iconic jogging scene
