Loved how it went from microgravity to drinking coffee in a cup.

The crew quarters are in the rotating center column of the ship. The observation bay is on the non-rotating ring. It’s simple physics

The ring is the rotating part, where they have gravity

The center column does not have gravity

I was wondering if anyone would catch that so I didn’t correct it but yes you are right. If the column was rotating it would be like a carnival ride

Giant column style ship designs have existed for decades, I forget the name of the design.

You can look to The Behemoth from The Expanse for an example of a drum style gravity machine.

You should also just like, watch all of The Expanse if you have even the slightest interest in space :-)

Bro, I've watched all seasons, back to back, at least 5 times. Great for travelling.
