Wasn't there a program in the previous admin where NASA solved YOUR problems?

I'll give this one to NASA for free: start using artificial gravity instead of watching how horrible micro-gravity is to each new group of astronauts.

I'll contribute to your research for a gravity generator. Or to your research into what different amounts of gravity in each body part does. Or in stabilizing a huge and cost-effective rotating structure. (But I really want the gravitiy generator..)

Or in stabilizing a huge and cost-effective rotating structure.

So a ring-shaped vehicle that spun at just the right velocity so that the outward centrifugal force would be more-or-less equal to earths' gravity. Is that what you are implying here?

I like the idea of funding startups but it is a risky business.

It would be interesting if they had programs like DARPA, X-Prize challenges.

I think this method is more efficient and should be leveraged by the rest of the government. It is basically a fixed-bid R&D contract.
