Why don’t spaceships just rotate to cause the effect of artificial gravity through centrifugal forces?

    usecase

      That’s the wonderful thing about a living language, if enough people start using a new word or a variation on the spelling of an existing one, it can simply become correct at a point.

      The compound variant ‘usecase’ is often used in tech and refers to a very specific means in which a system is utilized.
