Space travel: Artificial gravity mitigation, necessity or not?

And the prodigal son [daughter] returns!! no, no just a joke. I'm glad to be back. It is currently finals week and I am taking a break before my next exam. so the question, AG (artificial gravity) is it a necessity or not in order to further human space exploration?

As we approach an age of deep space exploration we must ask our selves what are we going to do to get life farther into space then we have before. Research on this question has been conducted for the past few decades and some solutions have come up... like exercise, resistance training, and now they are even discussing the possibility of exoskeletons that can provide similar force to the body that our earth gravity of 9.81 meters per second square could.

We have all seen space movies where we are going to Mars and we have cool rotating space ships but what is the reality behind all of this?

Recently in my first official year of college, while not in high school that is, I have been researching this very question. How exactly are we going to get to Mars or eventually other planets, is it really as easy as the movies make it out to be??? Well sorry to disappoint you but no its not. after a few months of research I found that in fact with current mitigation factors we cannot actually get life to Mars or any planet, or asteroid for that matter, father than perhaps that of our own moon.

Scientist have began experimenting with different mitigation factors to make sure that our deep space endeavors don't go without cause and that we can actually in fact get life to space.

So lets see who are some big names in space exploration William Kemp CEO and founder of United Space Structures told Forbes “If we want to stay in space longer than a year we’re going to have to have artificial gravity systems or else we’re going to sacrifice people[‘s health] in the process,” well he is not wrong.

Astronauts suffer from numerous health deficits when in a micro gravity environment. What is micrograviy you ask? well it is commonly experienced by astronauts once they enter space; microgravity is a very low gravitational force due to no large mass, like that of earth, pulling the object, in our case the astronaut, with a great force.

so what is our solution?

currently astronauts are using exercise and diet supplements as mitigation for the atrophy and bone loss they experience. *but your question is it a necessity or not?

Well I argue yes, without it furthering space exploration beyond our distant gravity field and possibly in the near, near, future even beyond our galaxy.

but why do I say this??

I'm afraid that's all the time I have right now [got to get back to studying have a history final in a few hours]

catch up on what my thoughts are on the subject in my next post. (promise it will be sooner than last time ;) )

ciao...

until next post
