I feel a song coming on.

Heh, I was looking at it and I thought, gee, isn't it going too fast? So I estimated that the station was 700 feet in diameter and turning about once per 30 seconds. This came out as an "artificial gravity" ... v^2/r ... of just about 15 ft/sec2 ... 1/2 g

Well, the question is moot.

Doc, thanks for posting that Great 2001 clip.
That brings back fond 1960’s memories of a time when we had the audacity to think we could keep up our stellar technological and civilization advances.
Unfortunately, our future has been robbed of great potential thanks to leftist’s Great Society 5 Trillion dollar theft creating a diseased gimmedat culture who’s gravity has proved difficult to escape.
