+* An "Ikea style" floor would need to be installed inside the walls.
 * The gravity level at the floor would be higher than at head height.
 * Matching the rotation of crew capsules to that of the station will complicate docking and supply stowage.

 * The station needs to be "spun down" before crew capsules can dock and undock.  Does this have "life boat" safety implications?

 One initial idea is to use [[Bigelow Aerospace Inflatable Space Stations]] for [[partial gravity research]], because these stations have a much larger diameter than anything that fits in a payload fairing.  A large diameter station can simulate artificial gravity by rotating along its axis.

 Doing some of the experiments while sitting down or lying down (eg. the daily 8 hours of sleep) could reduce this effect and make the experimental results easier to interpret.

 Another proposal is to attach two components to each other with a tether or truss and rotate them around each other.  This has the advantage that it can be done entirely using solid space station components.
