How SpaceX Will Create Artificial Gravity In Space

How SpaceX Will Create Artificial Gravity In Space.
Elon Musk has recently leaked an insane Starship artificial gravity concept idea on Twitter. This concept would include a tether between two starships which would allow astronauts to feel artificial gravity on their mission to Mars. Even though the idea seems crazy, it might actually just work. In this video, we will go over this exact concept and Elon Musk's plans for how it will work with SpaceX Starship.

I accidentally said "Artificial Intelligence" in the video, but other than that I hope you all enjoyed it! Let me know what your thoughts are on this artificial gravity concept in the comments below and I'll make sure to reply to as many comments as I can!

Leaving earths atmosphere doesn’t negate gravity, it’s still there! It’s travelling 28, 000 kph while constantly falling, parcelling the curvature of the earth that gives the illusion of weightlessness.

[phillpauley]

They should mimic earth's gravity all the way to Mars. That way everyone would be super strong for a while once they get there. It'd be easier to lift and build when they get there.

[khmaatta]

It is very much incorrect to claim that at orbit we experience weightlessnes due to weaker gravity, which is allmost the same as at surface.. real cause is due to fact that at space you are constantly free falling when you are not accelereting or decelerating... just as You are when falling.. 😏

[hitorihanzo]

gravity at the international space station only is reduced less than 2%, the people in the ISS are in free fall so they dont feel any more gravity than some falling off a building. the ISS is falling at the same rate as the curve of the earth is happening because they are traveling at 27, 000 km in an orbit. (falling but they miss the earth)

4:53 WOW .. the spin creates Artificial INTELLIGENCE 😂

[IanValentine]

Please publish the video with Artificial Inteligence replaced by Artificial Gravity, and delete sections with the explaination that astronauts are beyond gravity when in orbit, if that were true whats holding the moon in place? Zero G means no relative acceleration with your environment, NOT the absence of gravity.

[GlennJTison]

He is actually planning to use a tether to another large object ( probably another Starship) to get a large enough radius to not make passengers dizzy, and to keep gravity aligned perpendicular to the decks at launch. He is certainly planning to bring artificial intelligence along, as well.

[sturmtiger]

What if we combine the magnetization with the spin, while wearing equalized bracelets (feet and hand) and shoulder / necklace?

[JunoSolarWinds]

You're explanation of gravity at the start is so incorrect, 2:40. They are totally falling towards the earth like normal, only they miss it because of the high speed, thus orbit. Research a little more bro

[cosmicsailor]

Just a brief correction. You still experience gravity after you leave Earth's atmosphere. At low earth orbit you experience almost the same amount of gravity just as you would on the surface of the Earth. The thing is, at least when you are in orbit, is that you are constantly falling away from Earth, and due to that free fall, you experience weightlessness. To get some understanding, the moon is about 380 000 km away from Earth and the gravity of Earth is still strong enough to keep the moon in orbit at that distance. And the low earth orbit stretches up to only 2000 km. So you don't stop to experience gravity as soon as you leave Earth's atmosphere.

Nose to nose tethering would be best, that way there’s no need to reconfigure the interior layout for the transit time to Mars…

[cristoantonov]

First time AG was created, 2 Gemini capsules hooked by a cable, one spinning around the other. Nevertheless, if the distance to the center is too short, there will be a significant difference of the gravity in the feet in comparison with the one in the head. For me this are only speculations. First Starship must fly successfully. Meanwhile 😆

[dandupaysdegex]

You can never "feel" gravity, it has nothing to do with distance. What you feel is the inertia of the ground beneath your feet. So you stop feeling the effect of gravity as soon as your feet are not touching the ground (as when in free-fall). In fact, the gravitational force due to earth is not much lower on the ISS than it is down here. I just had to clarify...

[Tragiksouls]

The artificial intelligence part made me laugh. Good video!

[terrycook]

They need a ISS type station where docking multiple star ships can happen. Also a rate of 1 starship launch a month from earth to space for refuel purpose would be a need. If they had a big enough team of manufacturing parts to assembly to lift off then making a StarShip as big as a half mile assembly in space would be sufficiant to the cause to going to the orbit of the moon or to mars orbit to go to and from the station to get the colonony base working.

[WWeronko]

Not trying to be overly critical and not a Phd physicist, I still found this video at around a 3rd grade level. Nothing was said that wasn't obvious to even the simple minded.

[kevinryan]

The main irreconcilable flaw in the whole "multiplanetary species" thing is that Mars is too small. Its too small to provide healthy levels of gravity and too small to generate a magnetosphere. It's really not much more habitable than the moon.

[McClarinJ]

A 1, 000-meter carbon-fiber cable attached to the nosecone of two starships that could use lateral thrusters to achieve rotation strikes me as the best design. The 1km separation (500m radius) would prevent inner ear problems and the nose-to-nose orientation would let occupants use the floor plan designed for Earth and Mars. I see no reason the ships would require a rigid beam to connect them. The cable, especially if carbon-fiber, would be far less weight. The pair of Starships would accelerate to maximum velocity before reorienting and connecting for the long voyage. The problem with a toroidal structure is that it would require a huge and very costly construction effort whereas the Starships are already built to be lifted in 1G on Earth by their nosecone. Why introduce unneeded cost, complexity, and chance of failure?

[ArcanusLibero]

It is just another obstacle that humanity will overcome.
