The trick to keep people from getting sick is to make the spinning module big enough that the Coriolis effect is manageable for humans. Studies suggest that this happens at about 2rpm, so you'd need a radius of 223 meters (SpinCalc).

I disagree, you know how many problems we can solve down here by the advancements we make by trying to go into space and visit other plants? Also who knows what we could actually find on other planets that could help is down here on earth. I would rather spend my money doing that then on wars that did not need to be fought....
