Not unless we develop 1 G gravity plating. Rotational gravity just isn't the same. Google it and YouTube will splain it to you.

You would need to go 69 miles per hour. Kekw.

It's easy to spin a space craft. The problem in Linear Acceleration and Circular Motion. Say you are in a spinning space station and have 1 G. Now drop a ball. It doesn't drop straight down. It drops in an arc.
