Artificial Gravity Never Fails

We've watched movies and TV shows about space travel since we were little kids. Most of us have also watched the miracle of real space travel, such as the many videos we have of operations on the ISS. Have you noticed the real difference between the two? In the real world, we have not achieved artificial gravity, nor have we ever tried to. But it's in every show involving space travel. That one system must require a lot of power. 

Adam Schwartz took this idea and ran to its logical conclusion. When a ship's life support systems are failing, why not turn off the artificial gravity and use the enormous amount of power it's consuming? One might think that it's built like some modern electronics, without an off switch. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
