Is this how the space people did it in Contact? Maybe?

I mean- they'd have to survive 10,000 G forces, so it seems unlikely for organic matter to survive that, but who knows? Also, the only stuff I remember from Contact was the South Park episode of it.

Well, there was spinning. Something spun. That is the full flower of my knowledge of this matter.

The only thing I remember about Interstellar is EVERYTHING! I love that movie. There was spinning.
