yep, because there are no downsides to being in zero g for long periods of time at all
Not that many if you only plan to come back to full gravity in a coffin or not at all.
here's one that still matters
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceflight_associated_neuro-ocular_syndrome
Don't have to be in zero G. Just make a large enough structure to spin slowly and generate a little bit of gravity through centrifugal force. The moon's gravity at about 16% should be enough to make things move in the correct directions while not being crazy high. Not only that, but we get to experiment on a bunch of rich fucks, because we know that zero-g is not good for the human body, and we know that one-g is fine for the human body, but we know nothing about long-term exposure to different g-forces, such as the moon's gravity. By doing that we might find out that the moon's gravity is perfectly serviceable for humans or we might find out that there is still problems and that higher gravity is needed.
Visiting grandma would be out of this world, though. :)
Honestly, someday it could be like this...
