I was thinking, the biggest problem about going to distant places is the bone & muscle loss issue. With new propulsion system breakthroughs would it be possible to make a spacecraft which accelerates at one G through half the journey and then turns around to decelerate at one G again? Lets say going to Mars for example. That would mean the crew spends most of their mission time on Earth gravity - no zero g health problems and a very quick journey too. Quick journey also means lower risk of solar flares!
I'm sure most people have thought about it. Guess the the costs would be too high, newer propulsion methods would be required, etc. Any comments?
