One Revolution per Minute [video]
Really beautiful.Why 0.5G and not 1G though? Aside from the narration that decision doesn't seem to have any impact on the video. I would expect that difference to have a noticeable effect on things like the posture of the plants, the design of the pool, the flight of the butterflies, the posture and gait of the man. Ever accidentally bump a drinking glass, but not enough to knock it over? A wine glass sitting statically on a table will look pretty much the same at 0.5G, but half the downward force means you're probably much more likely to accidentally knock it over. So would we really use the same sort of glasses on a space station like this?Aside from one line about "walk, don't run, don't jump", all of this would be arguably more realistic/accurate if they just called it 1.0G, so I find that decision to be curious.
