A simulated gravity device method and apparatus is presented. The simulated gravity device (SGD) is disposed in mechanical communication with a spacecraft. The SGD is rotatable about a central axis, and is capable of supporting a person therein. The SGD is rotatable at a speed resulting in various forces, said various forces dependent on a rotation speed of said SGD and on a position within said SGD. The SGD is able to simulate the force of gravity on an astronaut.
