The Centrifuge
A picture showing the building that houses the largest centrifuge in the world. These centrifuges are used for testing cosmonauts and equipment, and can simulate anything up to 30 g's. The most g-forces a human ever withstood was 24, in this building. That was for a short time only. Equipment is regularly tested at up to 30 g's.
