How a rotating space would help the problems with lack of gravity? I mean, our gravity is up-down and the acceleration from a rotating environment would be lateral. Doesn't that make difference to our body?
What your body can sense is the presence of coriolis effects.
The acceleration I feel is in the head-feet direction, so it's relevant for the muscles, since their fibers seems to be aligned in this direction. The centripetal acceleration would be perpendicular to the usual muscular development, so... in this scenario, would that place still work for astronaut's body?
On a side note, they mention one equipment like that in this novel(a hell of a good scifi): The Martian, by Andy Weir. Available for free online, really funny.
