the floor of a spacecraft be magnetized and the crew wear suits that would

It would be more practical in a spacestation, which runs on photovoltaic,
cause the electro magnetic floor would be a drain on electricity.

Please let me know what you think.

Hallo

May be you need a powerful magnetic field to hold a person on the
ground. So the problem is: should the person be able to lift his feet?
Also the design of today spacecraft uses all walls for equipment.

Perhaps you include a little switch inside the shoes, so when the leg is
lifted, the switch will turn off the magnetic field in the shoe. But as
I think, some astronauts love it to fly from one corner to the other, of
course, I will enjoy that.

This can be more interesting for bigger spacecrafts, not so big that you
get an effect when parts are rotate.

But, what will happen outside the spacecraft, when you have a megnetic
field running. Would this act like a particel collector? This will
bombard your hull and can cause heavy damage. So you can construct a
magnetic field around the space ship, that operate like such a
collector, then maybe some micro meteorits collapsed inside this field
and lose their energy there. Possible to lower the cosmic rays this way?
