The future of American human spaceflight should be the colonization of Mars. But can humans live and reproduce in the low gravity? If humans require 100% Earth equivalent artificial gravity to live or reproduce there may be a way to provide this even on the surface of any smaller body such as Mars. Imagine the spinning wheel shaped space station in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Centrifugal force of the wheel simulates the sensation of artificial gravity acting upon the astronauts. Now imagine this wheel lying on its side and spinning on the surface of Mars. Two forces would now act on those inside the wheel. Centrifugal force equal to 62% of Earth gravity would move you toward the wall. This is the same force used in a fun house amusement ride where the round room spins and people stick to the wall even after the floor drops out. The natural gravity on Mars is equal to 38% of Earth and would move you toward the floor. Both forces add to 100% of Earth gravity. Now imagine tilting the side so the wheel is shaped like a Roulette wheel. Standing on the tilted side your body leans over about 60% of the way to being parallel to the surface of Mars. This tilted wall you are standing on becomes the new floor. Natural gravity acts on you to make you lean toward Mars surface. Artificial spin gravity acts on you to make you lean in the opposite direction. The two balance out so you feel a combined force simulating 100% Earth gravity pressing you into the tilted wall.
