In the short film “ONE REVOLUTION PER MINUTE,” the filmmaker, Erik Wernquist, explores the concept of artificial gravity in space. The film is set aboard the “SSPO Esperanta,” a planetary orbiter that spins at a rate of one revolution per minute, generating artificial gravity of approximately 0.5 g. Wernquist wanted to create a leisure-like environment similar to a hotel or cruise ship and showcase the views experienced onboard the orbiter as it visits different worlds in the solar system. To enhance the film’s aesthetic, all artificial lights were turned off, with only natural light illuminating the interiors. While Wernquist acknowledges the impracticality of such a structure for human passengers, he hopes that future advancements in transparent materials will allow space travelers to enjoy both artificial gravity and stunning views of the solar system.
