Kyoto University Kajima artificial gravity habitat
by Terrymiller: Science
bro, Kyoto University and Kajima Corporation dropped a design for spinning habitats on the Moon and Mars back in 2022. These structures would use centrifugal force to create artificial gravity, and they're packing water and plants inside to keep things livable. That's some next-level strat for off-world living. #Science #Space

This Japanese company is developing artificial gravity buildings for the Moon and Mars. Scientists from Kyoto University in Japan, in partnership with the Japanese construction firm Kojima Corporation, have proposed an innovative solution for living in space. These habitats utilize high-speed rotation to generate centrifugal force, which acts outward from the center of rotation. This force simulates gravity, pulling inhabitants towards the outer walls of the building, creating an environment with gravity similar to Earth's. In addition to providing essential gravity, these habitats will also be filled with water and plants, creating a sustainable and life-supporting ecosystem for future space dwellers.
