It doesn't seem like we will ever do well in space in zero gravity. Seems like whenever I go to
take a look at the ISS daily activity, much of their time is spent testing to see how sick each
other are! Nothing on plasma experiments, or pictures from Pettits hot-rod camera. I wonder
what, and how quickly, we would become if we were to live and breed in 0 G? Adaptation, not
evolution seems to occur very fast. Spherical jelly blobs? Shifted spectral vision? (Our eyes
are useless in space in their present configuration

, I bet it would be weird anyway.
So why haven't we had artificial gravity, by spinning I mean. Is fake gravity different to 'real'
gravity when it comes to our health in space?
I figure I could set up a rotating space habitat pretty cheap, by NASA standards. What do we need?
Aircraft wire, though I'm sure there is even stronger stuff available.
A fairly straight forward design using tensegrity. Very strong, and rigid. I think just
a hub and wires and tension would do, but I like tensegrity. Add some lightweight tubes then.
A living space. Well, it doesn't need to be any more than a multi film tent. If it's parked in
the correct place, radiation isn't a big problem inside. Not x-rays anyway.
"In fact, researchers have been studying the use of polyethylene as a shielding material for some time.
One of several novel material developments that the team is testing is reinforced polyethylene. Raj Kaul,
a scientist in the Marshall Center's Engineering Directorate, previously has worked with this material on
protective armor for helicopters.
"Since it is a ballistic shield, it also deflects micrometeorites," Kaul says. "Since it's a fabric, it can be
draped around molds and shaped into specific spacecraft components."
And aluminum foil, and I think we'll maybe see some graphene based products before too long. Anyway, I don't
see why something has not been done by now, not even any test models AFAIK. They don't really want us in
space, that's what I think, and judging by our present behaviour on this planet, can't say I blame them.

In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. -Buckminster Fuller
