Did you ever see any video of the astronauts on the old Skylab from the 70's? They did sort of the same thing where they would do a "hamster wheel" run around the inside of the round Skylab. It didn't rotate, so there was no aritficial gravity, but their own momentum would keep them from drifitng off the surface, and it was a lot smaller so they couldn't do a full standing-up run, but it was very trippy. This was years after 2001, so it was cool to see something from the futuristic movie come to life.

If you are in New Zealand, maybe you have a chunk of Skylab in your backyard. Didn't pieces of it fall on Australia and New Zealand?
