Introduction
Patent/Copyright
I am the first person to come up with this solution. So, nobody or set of people, is/are allowed to use the knowledge here for any purpose, especially to build a spacecraft, satellite or (international) space station, etc. without my permission.
Cause of Weightlessness
On earth, you or the astronaut is attracted (pulled) to the earth because the earth is much bigger than the astronaut. That is gravitational force. Currently, in a spacecraft in space, there is no pull (attraction) in any direction on the astronaut; and so the astronaut floats. By the time he/she returns to earth, the astronaut has not been used to standing and walking, so the astronaut cannot stand or walk.
Summary of Solution
My solution is to provide a pull on the astronaut in space, in one direction. The pulling force consists of two forces: gravitational force and magnetic force, as explained below. A spacecraft should consist of two chambers: a chamber considered as the the top chamber and another chamber considered as the bottom chamber. The top (upper) chamber is where the astronauts spend most of their time: to control the craft, eat, wash themselves, sleep, etc. The bottom chamber is where there is the engine of the craft, store, and any other thing that is not of daily use. The bottom chamber attracts (pulls) the astronauts towards it. This effective force should be strong enough, so that the astronauts and any non-fixed item (e.g. plates for food) they use, should automatically move towards the bottom chamber.
Gravitational Force Provided
The mass of the bottom chamber and its contents should be as high as possible, compared to the mass of the top chamber and its contents. In this way, there will be a gravitational pull of the contents of the top (upper) chamber towards the content of the bottom (lower) chamber. However, this pull will be small; it will not be enough. So additional force will be needed. This additional force will be provided by magnetism as explain below.
Magnetic Force Provided
There will be a permanent magnet at the lower chamber. All the dresses of the astronauts will have metals, so that as the astronaut has the dress on, in the upper chamber, the dress will be pulled towards the lower chamber and so pulling the astronauts towards the lower chamber. All the non-fixed items such as plates for eating, in the upper chamber will be made of metals, so that they will be attracted towards the magnet in the lower chamber.
With the small magnetic force provided by mechanical design, and the stronger magnetic force provided by magnetism, there will be a good pull of the non-fixed contents in the upper chamber towards the lower chamber.
Still Some Problems
When the astronaut is taking a shower, water from the shower will fly (float) . This problem can be solved by pumping the water. When the astronaut is naked while taking the shower, he/she would float. This problem can be solved by the astronaut wearing some metal straps on the limbs. From the upper chamber, these metal straps will pull him/her towards the lower chamber.
Since the gravity provided is not strong enough, when the astronaut is eating, the food may float off. When the astronaut is stooling, the stool may float off. Since the gravity provided is not strong enough, the organs of the astronaut are not attracted to the lower chamber, strong enough. The organs are not pulled by the magnets. These are still problems without solution.
However, the problem of being erect and walking in the spacecraft, and also walking immediately returning to earth, due to weightlessness, is solved.
Conclusion
The problem of being erect and walking in the spacecraft, and also walking immediately returning to earth, is due to weightlessness. This problem can be solved by providing some effective force to pull the astronaut into one direction in the spacecraft. The direction pulled to, is considered as the lower direction. This effective force can be provided by some gravity and strong magnetism. Some gravity is provided by mechanically designing the spacecraft into an upper and lower chamber. The mass of the lower chamber and its contents, is much higher than the mass of the upper chamber and its contents. The astronauts and non-fixed items they often used, are usually in the upper chamber. In this way, there is a net gravitational attraction of the astronauts and their non-fixed items towards the lower chamber, though small. Additional and stronger force is provided by magnetism in the same direction. The lower chamber will have a permanent magnet. The dressing of the astronauts and their non-fixed items will have metals. In this way, both the astronauts and their non-fixed items are pulled towards the lower chamber.
The current International Space Station is not habitable. The above knowledge can be added to the station, or in building a new one when the means are available.
