I am very excited to hear that the USA is planning to go back to the Moon and to Mars.

The exploration of space will drive the nations of the world to work together and to advance the state of human knowledge. New materials will be invented and new engineering will be invented to overcome the challenges.

As to artificial gravity, I don't think they are likely to come up with that any time soon. What i have read about is simulated gravity where they spin the living portion of the ship.

If they spin the ship I would imagine they would need to do something to attach the people to the perimeter in terms of mildly magnetic boots or similar. Otherwise the ship might spin but the people would just float in zero gravity above the deck.
