You cannot just add the forces like you have. A centrifugal acceleration of 92% earth gravity would be required for the astronaut to feel earth gravity and it would be at an angle of about 68degrees, which is 75% of the way to vertical.
required acceleration is given by (qrt( 1 - 0.38^2 ) )*100 as a percentage of earth gravity.
@dankarpinski The idea in this video is expressed as a concept only. The numbers 38% and 62% were for illustrative purposes only and not intended to be correct. However it is true that if you are spun in a round room on Earth you will be subjected to two forces. Gravity is fixed but the rate of spin can be easily adjusted so the sum of the two forces can be varied in a range. Of course the key question is will cells dividing in an embryo react normally to two small forces?
Very interesting, It truly makes me proud to see that others still hold a genuine interest of the advancement, and what I see as inevitable future of our people. Please keep up the good work, my hat goes off to you...
3 Shielding from radiation (an atmosphere or a layer of dirt)
4 Gravity (Either natural or artificial)
We have all the science and most of the engineering to address the first three and allow billions of people to live on thousands of bodies throughout the solar system. The idea in this video could address the last possible showstopper to colonization, gravity.
Thank you for your good question. Because of the cost of launching material into low Earth orbit, 90% to 99% of the material for a large engineering project completed on the surface of Mars would have to come from materials indigenous to Mars. Fortunately Mars has abundant supplies of all the elements, unlike the Moon.

angle off horizontal is given by arccos (0.38/1 )

Humans can live anywhere they have:
1 Energy (from fission, fusion, or solar)
2 Chemical elements (most or all of the 92)
3 Shielding from radiation (an atmosphere or a layer of dirt)
4 Gravity (Either natural or artificial)

hmmm... how will we port it to mars?
since it should be atleast 1km in diameter..!
