Why Don't Spaceships Have Artificial Gravity?

The video explores the concept of artificial gravity, often depicted in movies, and its importance due to the negative effects of weightlessness on humans. It explains that spinning is the only practical way to simulate gravity, similar to amusement park rides. However, creating a spinning habitat presents challenges, such as size, cost, and human disorientation. The video discusses past research, including the Gemini 11 mission and the Nautilus X concept, and recent experiments by MIT. Despite the challenges, artificial gravity remains a crucial area of research for future space travel.

Describe the experiment conducted by astronauts on the Gemini 11 capsule regarding artificial gravity.

What was the purpose of the Nautilus X mission concept proposed in 2011?
