Planned trip to Mars

Hey guys,

I've just been reading an article about the disastrous effects a year on ISS has had on astronaut Scott Kelly's body.

It makes me wonder how those who'll travel to Mars when the time comes, will cope.

I'm thinking that what needs to be investigated as a matter of priority is provision of a synthetic gravity environment such as we see on the likes of Star Trek etc, - the same as we have on a standard airplane flight.

I'm not the full quid on these matters. Is that theoretically even possible in space travel?

Any thoughts folks?
