same effect. Also it's not clear you need to spin to 1g when something
smaller might suffice and thereby avoid the coriolis effects on the inner

BTW, you can get a 1g effect in a 1g environment by providing a circular
running track and have the crew run around the track in the spin-wise
direction to experience a higher g.
They did that in the movie 2001 too, but only those in the know realized what
it was about. Too bad they didn't do the special effects to show what happens
when Bowman runs the OTHER* way... �;-)

didnt the crew spin skylab once? i forget the details
