Silly ones. Everything I do is EPIC!!!.

But the question remains...How should we counter the anti-grav problem.

Simple really, create a space craft that is a ring, and spin the ring, creating a centrificle force gravity feild, so you could walk on the inside of the ring.

It's true. CENTRIFUGAL force can be used to create artificial gravity. They're already using it to simulate Mars' gravity on mice.

I already know about the ring idea. I even designed my own ring (got to talk to NASA people too) But a ring might not be effecient for all your artificial gravity needs.

For example a planet/moon with really low gravity. A spinning building might not be a good idea. I propose a genetic solution. Perhaps there is a way to make the body not atrophy when it is in an anti-grav state.
