I don't agree the humans will need a physical presence in space unless we actual find life. Everything else can be done more efficiently and cheaper by a machine.

Going just for the sake of going is a bit pointless and far too risky.

That's OK, but your wrong on both counts.

Both.

would it be possible to add a centrifuge section to the ISS to gather data on the region between 0 and 1 G?

I've asked that exact question...
We would be capable of doing it, [and probably will after the life time of the present ISS] but damn costs are far more to do it.

Building a a space station ala 2001: A Space Odyssey would cover all contingencies with 1G at the circumference, reducing the further towards the center we go to cover for all possible experiemnts.
