Before mankind attempts long-term manned bases, settlements, or colonies on the moon or Mars, it is prudent to learn whether people exposed to lunar or Martian gravity levels experience continuing physiological deterioration, as they do in micro-gravity. If these problems do occur in partial gravity, then it will also be important to develop and test effective countermeasures, since countermeasures could have drastic effects on manned exploration plans and facility designs. Such tests can be done in low earth orbit, using a long slowly rotating dumbbell that provides Martian gravity at one end, lunar gravity at the other, and lower values in between. To cut Coriolis effects by half, one must cut the rotation rate of an artificial gravity fa...
