If you think about it though, any centrifugal device needs to be balanced,
and how do you do that with people in it?
I suspect small scale devices containing animals is al one will see.

Look at what happened to the iss when a rocket firing produced low frequency
vibrations. do you really think a centrifuge would be a viable addition?
a large one that is.

It also reduces reliance on the Russians for carrying our crew up.

One can dream... I really wish the CAM would fly.

Didn't Jorge Frank state a while back that CAM had vibration issues during
operation that made it unsafe, so that's why it got dumped?
It's too bad, because it was one of the few experiments that could be done
on the ISS that would have yielded really interesting data in regards to
long term habitation of the Moon or Mars.
