 ===It's Physically Possible===
-To provide people with one g acceleration by centrifuge on Luna, there needs to be about 99% of a g radially outward added to the existing one sixth g.  If the centrifuge rotates at a reasonable angular velocity of 2 revolutions per minute, the radius must be 220 meters.  To avoid providing a room for the centrifuge with an open space (no pillars) of 440 meters in diameter, the hub of the centrifuge is left out and the living quarters are built in a section of a cylinder between 220 meters and 210 meters in radius and between 0 and 15 meters in height.  The centrifuge would run constantly except when maintenance requires a shut down.  Access to the living quarters would be not by elevator, but by rotavator.  People would approach the rotavator on their way home after work, moving through the nonrotating corridors of the lunar base.  They would enter the rotavator through a door and start it moving along its circular track just above the centrifuged living quarters.  When the rotavator is matched in velocity with the proper portion of the living quarters, people would enter the living quarters through a door.  The transition from one sixth g vertical to one g radial would be smoothly accommodated by the floor of the rotavator compartment swinging from downward to radially outward.

 Since this plan calls for a bit more than a one and a third kilometer length of living quarters, it would probably not be built in the first year of operation of a lunar base.

 A centrifuged living quarters, as above, could accommodate perhaps 600 people on apartments on two floors with the exact number of residents depending on various matters such as how much space is taken up by providing utilities with liquids being shipped in and out by tank.  So why not stay on Earth where 1 g gravity is one of the few things that one can depend upon as being provided with no extra charge?  The big draw here is that the industries which will employ people on Luna will ship out their products by some or another kind of [[Mass Drivers|electric propulsion]] and reach customers throughout the solar system at a much smaller cost than shipping products into orbit from Earth.  That can not be done from Mars (except in perhaps some qualified sense); and setting up such industry on asteroids would be very difficult because of the lack of the ability to use remote control devices with a response time of 3 seconds.  Luna is the key to the solar system.  This is why it is so important to get ground truth from the lunar poles.  If hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen are available to be extracted from frozen [[volatiles]] at the poles using reasonable industrial processes, the race is on.  If only hydrogen can be reasonably extracted, we will still squeak by.  If the lunar hydrogen is just a flash in the pan, we go to [[Luna-Mars Trade|plan B]].  Hydrogen will need to be shipped in from a source such as Mars or the asteroids.  Expansion into the solar system will be tremendously delayed.
