SpaceX SUPREME NEW Artificial Gravity Starship Concept!

SpaceX SUPREME NEW Artificial Gravity Starship Concept!
SpaceX has investigated connecting Starships together in space to generate a sort of artificial gravity for passengers on multi-month flights between planets, as well as converting whole Starships into all-in-one orbital observatories with a magnitude greater than Hubble.

Let us today find out about this amazing SpaceX discovery. So let's dive right into this video to find out. But before don't forget to subscribe to this channel, so you never miss an update.

Before diving in let us talk about the concept.
The idea goes all the way back more than a century, with Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857 – 1935), one of the “founding fathers” of rocketry and aeronautics, providing the first recorded demonstration. He presented a research titled "Investigation of Outer Space Rocket Devices" in 1903, in which he proposed employing rotational force to create artificial gravity in space.

Since then, several versions of this concept, including as the von Braun Wheel, the O'Neill Cylinder, and the Stanford Torus, have been proposed for space stations and habitats. Some designs, such as NASA's Nautilus-X space station (which would employ a revolving torus to provide artificial gravity) and the Gateway Foundation's plan for a commercial space station, are even being examined for development.

Smallstars came up with the idea for the GLS after performing some research on centripetal force. The GLS is essentially a "hub ship" (similar to a wheel hub), with a truss filling the payload bay. As a result, they are "acting as spokes on the wheel." It would be positioned between two passenger starships and would communicate with them throughout the 6-month travel to Mars.

Smallstars not only detailed the system, but also completed the calculations required to establish the construction of the truss and the velocity required to recreate Earth-normal gravity. Using SpinCalculator, he found that a rotating rate of 31 m/s would be sufficient for a system with a radius of around 100 meters, delivering the sensation of 1 g and doing approximately 3 spins each minute.

When the passenger ships were connected, they would spin around to reposition themselves and use their thrusters to give momentum to the wheel. Once enough velocity had been generated to replicate Earth-normal gravity (9.8 m/s2, or 1 g), the passenger ships would rearrange themselves to face inward towards the "hub" ship.

Those on board the passenger ships would feel dragged down for the rest of the journey as a result of the centripetal force caused by the wheel's rotation. According to smallstars, the system is as follows:

“The Gravity Link Starship design offers a rotational gravity that reuses the main engines, accesses leftover fuel, and eliminates impractical space building and spacewalks. The GLS is essentially a hub ship, similar to the hub of a wheel. Instead of personnel and cargo, the GLS's payload bay is packed with truss that can robotically fold out and lock into place to serve as the wheel's spokes.”

Plenty is now known about the long-term effects of microgravity exposure, thanks in large part to studies undertaken by astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Muscle loss, bone density loss, decreased organ function, vision loss, changes in cardiovascular strength, and even genetic mutations are examples of these.
These are facts that astronaut Scott Kelly can attest to! He found readjusting to life on Earth hard after spending a year in space as part of NASA's Twins Study (as detailed in his book Endurance). To avoid such health problems before astronauts even reach deep-space destinations such as the Moon or Mars (where the long-term effects of low-g are unknown).

This was the concept, Now
At least some members of the physics community, according to Saul Perlmutter, are already investigating the potential of employing Starship as a sort of foundation or spacecraft bus capable of carrying and operating massive scientific payloads. While Starship has already been proposed for use as a launch platform for key future missions, this notion would see Starship serve as the spacecraft itself.

Musk said, "Yes," hinting that it might be a company plan, and that it could happen shortly when the Starship is cleared for its missions following a series of testing.

The anchored spacecraft and launch would contribute to the creation of artificial gravity, which would aid in the stabilization of the Starship en route to Mars, allowing for a more successful journey.

here's a thought:
- how are they going to create eath level gravity on mars ? / have they thought to do this ?
- its a 6 months trip to get to mars at 0g, then 2 years on mars at 0.38g, then 6 months back at 0g
- for more context, Valeri Polyakov holds the title for longest continuous time in space, 438 days at 0g (14 months and around 13 days), and the longest time spent in space total is 878 days by Gennady Padalka.
- so to sum up, a trip to Mars and back is a 3 year round trip, and bearing in mind we want to create a permanent settlement there, to solve this gravity issue is essential for lots of things like combating illness and so the astronauts can maintain strenth for coming back to earth.

Building rockets that depend on moving spacecraft parts to create artificial gravity can be very difficult and expensive. It is much easier, more comfortable, and less expensive to attach two starship nose-to-nose by a kilometer-long cable. This would create artificial gravity far that is not so complex a design and would not cause the serous nausea that the spinning spacecraft connected by trusses or a rotating tube would cause. The longer the radius of curvature, the more comfortable the experience. Go with a long cable!

Space Stations are usually meant to stay in one area, and normally aren’t Meant for interplanetary travel, The Nautilus is a Space-Ship, not a Space-Station.

[LowendNate]

And people wonder why SpaceX is the more favored company in the modern space race Everything has reason and can be used in multiple different ways.

[therealtimray]

The video illustration does not match the description of what the person is actually saying. Makes this video unhelpful and confusing

To Mars it makes a lot more sense to tether two starships and spin the pair for gravity than making a "hub" ship with a tiny gravity space. Rotate two whole ships around a tether or even a third and it all becomes gravitized (except the third in the center remain8ng at zero g).

[toddabbott]

I think it would be FAR better to slit the ship the other way between the engines and fuel... and the passenger compartment. It would need FAR less modifications. It would be a bit trickier to get it spinning right, but the passenger section would likely weigh similar to the engines and fuel by then. You would not need trusts, just cables. You also would not need to change what is considered the floor. You would need less

What if they use magnets as a downward Force or air pressure as a downward Force for artificial gravity

[allmhuran]

Decent content but there's a lot of weird pauses in the narration that make it hard to follow

[Sammy-zjoj]

bro every millionaire moving to mars to avoid taxes 😂

[glenbradford]

I want to see a star fleet robot when they have all join up

[ckdigitaltheqofth]

The CGI demos in a very primative form of gravity rendering vessels, never the less, its a potential in future stations, anything implamenting artificial gravity, is feesable.

[nief]

Why not make starships nose to nose so that the artificial gravity is in the same direction as launch gravity?

[maninifarmer]

Why not test all these theories on the ISS?

[Databyter]

Mars would likely be a one way trip for most of the early adventurers.

[joedoe]

to my simple brain, it would seam that having one rotating mass ring would be a design flaw. it would cause the entire craft to spin and to counter it you would need to use some sort of little boosters to stabilize the main ship. this would need a sheet tonne of fuel for long trips. i would think a twin rotational mass going in opposite directions would be the way to go to counteract the main ship rotation and need for fuel to keep it stable.

[notnotalwen]

Wait they would need two spinning module so it can equalize. Like there is a reason why a helicopter has two propeller is to prevent the canopy spinning out of control. Like on a chinook there is two blades spinning on opposite direction to prevent the helicopter spinning out of control. I wonder if the same concept applies to objects in space. My prediction if only one spinning artificial gravity module is used is that similar to a cork screw (The metallic T thingy) video spinning in space.

[roberthogue]

Why all the unrelated video, don't you have enough relevant video to last as long as the audio?

[tyronetaylor]

Rotating gravity was proposed in 1903. Why do I have a feeling it will take 200 years for a craft to be built. 🙁
