Ultimately, it is a ring of cylinders that then gets spun.

That's the idea.

You do have to transit, and so we can't completely remove the cross-coupling effects.

If you're climbing towards the center, maybe the docking center of the ring, you're going to go from normal gravity to gradually floating.

But you can do a ladder.

You can do ergonomic techniques to help get the humans up there.

Between friends, between moments, one moment to the next.

It turns out it's tricky to basically have the human experience these gradient shifts.

You really want to, when you go into zero G. How do you know that?

We know that because of amazing studies done at MIT and elsewhere.

He's the one that she did the experiment on.

It's carnival rides.

We get the Gravitron going and we play with people inside of it.

Kind of true.

Okay.

Yeah, human-sized centrifuge.

So we learned some from that, from studies in that.

And then there's also been a lot of science about when the astronauts first get to the International Space Station, sometimes there's space sickness.

They have to acclimate to the zero-g environment.

So we don't want you to be in a constant state of, are you in real gravity or are you in zero-g?
