abundant resource - microgravity ... And again unfortunately at the moment,
the biggest one is that it would serve no purpose ..."
As long as we've only got a handful of people in space, and they rotate back
down to Earth after only a matter of months in orbit, you're correct. But,
for larger numbers of people, staying in space on a semi-permanent basis,
we'll need to figure out a way to simulate gravity in the *habitat*
sections. The work areas would, for the most part, still be in microgravity.
