If a space station spins fast enough, objects and astronauts inside would be pushed outward, creating the sensation of gravity. This is similar to how water stays pressed against the sides of a spinning bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept has appeared in science fiction for decades\u2014from Stanley Kubrick\u2019s <em>2001: A Space Odyssey<\/em> to countless futuristic space colony designs.

Artificial gravity could allow astronauts to live healthier lives, exercise less intensively, and even grow food more effectively.
