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.
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?
You kind of want to pick one or the other and then give the humans as much time as possible to acclimate in those different regimes.
The reason we're so excited about this first phase, and then we're working towards our artificial gravity phase,
But the first phase where you're staying floating, it's a big sphere.
You're floating in a big sphere.
We call it a geode because you have to think about how to subdivide a sphere on the inside.
It's not a rectangular prism.
So it's like little crystal chambers is kind of how we think about it.
We want to do biotech.
We want to do space infrastructure for the benefit of life on Earth first.
