  1. Any future orbital facility should be designed to have a rotating component. The main reason is we have a data base on 1g and Zero G. We have no idea on the effects of 1/6th or 1/3rd G on the human body. I have to think there are some but if it is graphed out is a straight line? A curve that starts shallow and rises rapidly as the G increases*. Or is it a curve that rises rapidly and then flattens out? In reality we could have done this anytime in the last 40 years if we really wanted to. There have to major benefits from using spin "gravity" even if a fairly low acceleration is acceptable simply from the housekeeping and sanitary side of things.
