This is 0.3 miles diameter and spinning at less than 0.5 rpm. Grok says the g-force would be only be 0.067g, pretty weak.

In “The Expanse”, 600 mile diameter Ceres was hollowed out, held together with cables and spun at 1 rev per 42 minutes to achieve 0.3g inside. The show was pretty accurate with physics and Grok backs that up.
