The first planned artificial gravity experiment took place in late 1966, but the first human on the Moon beat them to it.
Though spacecraft with artificial gravity are still a distant dream, we had proof of concept way back in September 1966.
Earlier artificial-gravity designs revealed critical weaknesses. Nautilus-X, for example, relied on a rotating torus connected to a central corridor by a single passage. If that connection failed, ...
