Centripetal force. Take the spacecraft from Interstellar(good movie btw, watch it if you haven't) for example.

I mean, we've figured out how to, it's just we haven't had a proper use for the tech yet. Maybe a NASA Mars mission, but as for the ISS, it is already there, why replace it? we can't exactly strap a bungie cord to it and start hurling it around in space.

Please educate yourself on general relativity.

This works, but you need to move pretty fucking fast for it to have Earth-equivalent gravity (or you need a big radius).

Currently it would be way too expensive to design a spaceship which can handle those kind of forces, so we don't.

Yeah, Interstellar was pretty good until that dumbshit ending

It was visually stunning, I'll give you that.

Countering gravity on the ISS defeats the purpose of the ISS which is to study stuff and people in microgravity.

Because of the people and gyroscopes necessary for orienting the ISS, the microgravity up there is pretty shit.

Putting up a big spinny thing would only make things worse and doesn't really do anything important in terms of science.

We can do it, we just don't need to.

We have TR3Bs, we don't need that monekey shit.

Centripetal force guy here. The space man should've died in the black hole instead of some quantum love 4th dimension bullshit, other than that good movie
