That's the moon as in it will have partial gravity, they're not going to do shot put in space, period. Besides, that only works well for a long term trip, because you can't dock with that shit when there's no docking port at the center of gravity, and you need a wheel for that.
If you used a counterweight and the CoG was anywhere on the spacecraft, everybody would be throwing up.

>Mission starts with construction of massive space station that provides artificial gravity for 50 men, has a nuclear reactor
>Crew of 4 men orbit the moon for research, no landing
>The data is used in the planning of the mars mission, where man would first set foot on another body

And instead of this we ended up just building a fuckhuge rocket and landing on the moon
