i wonder how normally one could move around in a very large centrifuge on the moon.

would it be a matter of sort of leaning when you walk, and generally you could compensate like that?

or would you have to have a wide base when you walk because you are being pulled outwards and downwards at the same time?

would a tilt to the floor that is perpendicular to the sum of the vectors make life a lot easier?

also, @Hoh so the momentum gain or loss from releasing weights that are later recaptured - so, the momentum exchange is at the moment of release? The tether would respond like a boat bobbing up in the water when something is dumped overboard?

that didn't occur to me until yesterday in the middle of the night...

@kimholder Yes, it is like releasing weights or helium balloons.

i still find it strange that they return to the altitude they were released at when they reach perilune again. They are going either faster or slower than orbital speed for that altitude when they are released - shouldn't they either move to the altitude that corresponds to that speed, or change speed?
