The URL in the weekly Straight Dope e-mail led to nothing. How can I see the answer to this? It’s about spinning space stations causing artificial gravity. [http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mspacestation.html](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mspacestation.html) Thanx.😕 ---

Is this the article? [Why does spinning a space station create artificial gravity?](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/martificialgravity.html) If so, it’s a staff report, rather than a column by Cecil. ---

We screwed up. The Staff Report cited by **Ice Wolf** was posted over a year ago, but an administrative goof (I raise my hand as the cause) caused it to recycle, so that Ed reposted the same (well, virtually) report and listed it in the e-mail. We dropped that and put out the report on [microwaves in ovens and cellphones](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/movencellphones.html) instead. A link to another thread discussing the topic, and Ed’s more detailed explanation: [Centripetal, centrifugal, oy](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=206448) ---

Thanx Ice Wolf. All mysteries have been revealed!
