[AOS11-10] Proposal for artificial gravity facility with water system and other natural environment on the Moon

Keywords:space habitat, centrifugal force, artificial gravity, Accounting for Generations

The people who desire to go to the moon despite the possibility of the trip becoming a one-way trip, are the first generation. Even if the long-term stay could cause irreversible physical and mental changes that make it impossible to return to Earth, they are ready to face it. However, their children and the following generations will be forced to live in that harsh environment without their consent. Furthermore, the following generations may be unable to stand on the earth on their feet. This will lead to the division of humanity. Therefore, artificial gravity may be useful to form and retain the body that suits life on Earth after the return. Raising children in a machine like a cradle device using a centrifuge would not be ideal because it separates parents and children.
Without gravity, mammals may not be able to be born and normal development would not be possible. It is also said that when bone health is compromised, it can affect the health of the blood produced in the bone marrow. Furthermore, as they grow in low gravity, their bodies are unable to stand on their own on Earth. This may accelerate future settlement on their planet but have them avoid visiting Earth. Therefore, we believe that an "artificial gravity facility" that utilizes centrifugal force to generate pseudo-gravity close to the Earth's environment in space, on the Moon, or on Mars would be useful. We think it would be good if we could allow people to live in a pseudo-gravity environment on a daily basis, and only enjoy the low gravity and microgravity of the Moon and Mars in space during work, research, and leisure time. This facility will enable human beings to have children with peace of mind and maintain a body that can return to Earth at any time. Based on the recognition that the Earth's gravity "1G is the identity of humankind," We propose an artificial gravity facility that encompasses a natural environment such as a water system.
