I’d throw in if a rotating station is still in LEO (seems likely for a first attempt) it would have the benefit of Earth’s magnetic field for shielding. Not if used for traveling to another body though.

Like presumably "the Ancients" did? https://old.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/f5s2f4/the_unus...
Starting at about 8M55S he decribes some interesting aspects of the so called two day orbit.
Anyways, it is OUTSIDE the magnetic field. But would it really matter if you have the technology to build a space station big enough to have rotational gravity? I'd imagine we'd cover that with regolith mass driven from the moon, or something like that.
