> Why? Just spin the thing

Sure. Let's put rats in centrifuges in space and see if they can reproduce successfully. Maybe there is a coriolis boundary. Maybe something weird happens.



If you make your centrifuge big enough, it's fine.

But yeah, sticking rats in a centrifuge is probably a better first step than starting with humans.

We don't know this! We don't know how (or even if) an embryo develops under the Coriolis force, or with a gravity gradient.


If you make it big enough, there's no discernible gradient and not much of a Coriolis force.
