How SpaceX Creates Artificial Gravity In Space with Next-Gen Starship is unlike any others!
Huge thanks to:

========
The concept of sending humans to Mars has been an exciting idea for decades, and the direction of space travel in the 21st century is finally presenting the possibility of actually making that happen!
As Elon Musk and SpaceX's talented engineers are developing powerful Starships that will soon take astronauts returning to the Moon after half a century, and finally Mars and other distant places in the Solar System.
This presents a number of challenges, not the least of which are the effects of prolonged exposure to radiation and microgravity.
And whereas there are many viable options for protecting crews from radiation, gravity remains a bit of a stumbling block. To address this, creating artificial gravity is an urgent requirement.
But how exactly will the SpaceX Starship generate artificial gravity on long trips such as to Mars?
The answer will be revealed in today's episode as Elon Musk finally reveals artificial gravity Starship!

Artificial gravity could revolutionize space exploration and off-Earth tourism.
If you don’t know, artificial gravity is the creation of an inertial force in a spacecraft, in order to emulate the force of gravity. This concept is often seen in but is not limited to science-fiction shows like "Star Trek", and researchers are currently working on methods to create artificial gravity in space.
Not only would the creation of artificial gravity simplify the next era of space exploration, making tasks more straightforward, but it would also be crucial for potential space tourism.
The effects of microgravity in space can actually be harmful to humans, so as we look at longer crewed missions, including journeying to Mars, artificial gravity could be essential to our astronauts' health.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk revealed in March via Twitter that he now sees 2029 as the earliest date humans might first step on Mars. That would be 60 years since the first moon landing in 1969.

To be resolved, thank you.

so.. when Elon was asked in an interview if they will consider a tether for artificial gravity he said yes? what is the source and proof that Elon himself said that? please include those pieces of information or you will end up being a channel that no one will want to take seriously, Great explanation about Centrifugal force and the Ideas of how we want to do artificial gravity but most of what you said is not what Elon Space is personally doing but mostly just what some space researchers want to do.

this appears to be a repost of a video from a year ago.

[hi-q]

Look at the movie "2001" and look at "Babylon 5" there are ships in the show that's pretty much explaining it

[freezerman]

Any source for all this ? Has Musk ever mentioned any of these solutions you mention?

[zeztox]

On the way to Mars, spin the habitat starting from the gravitational acceleration on Earth and then gradually slow the spin to match the acceleration on mars. That way, it wont be a shock to the body or make it uncomfortable, as you already are kinda used to the lower gravity once you land. And on the way back, you slowly increase the gravity so that when you land on Earth, your body is already used to that gravity.
I actually would struggle to sleep in a starship that has 2 habitat modules extended out from it. All it takes is a small meteor hitting that arm and then your off to a slow death...
If you think about it, having a startship that can produce artificial gravity is kinda pointless, as you only need it in 0 gravity.
its better to make a space ship that is purely designed for the travel between planets and then have the starship dock to it.
Pre craft a bigger "mother ship" down on earth and just connect the pieces together in space. Im sure they've already thought of it though.

What's the event in the clips you used, where Musk and some other guy is up on a stage?

[jayestes_vids]

Seems like nobody remembers the shuttle experiments on long space tethers for electrodynamics. STS-46 & STS-75; Both failed, but verified the gravity gradient effect, and backup plans would have spun the system up to stabilize it

[nightlightabcd]

In other words, there are no viable plans for gravity as yet! If so, the six month flight to Mars at the gravity of Marts, 38% the gravity of earth, means that they will start their physical deterioration before they even get to Mars

[JuliennB]

I’m actually the one who emphasized the importance of artificial gravity to Mr. Musk in a tweet. I was pleased to see that he took my words seriously and got the entire intern team to address the situation. The idea they came up with, using rotation to produce artificial gravity was a decent concept.

[ekij]

The video starts with a lot of Background waffle. The actual discussion of how SpaceX will implement spin-gravity starts at 3:43

[ClarenceDeMars]

Stop with the clickbait! Tell me one thing SpaceX said that is unlike others. He only said they were not opposed to exploring a very old concept. Nothing new here 1903

The main issue with rotational gravity is actually velocity. Say there is a room on a spacecraft which is experiencing artificial gravity. That so-called gravity would be directed out toward the surface away from the axis of rotation. The problem is that the velocity of the room's floor would relocate to impact an object traversing the space before that object could reach the surface farthest from the axis. It would be better to make the floor spanning between an axis of rotation and the rotating periphery. Use the floor as a floor. The movement of the floor as it rotates would be the same as the floor of a slowly rising elevator. In that situation, the free body diagram becomes the same as it is for true gravity.

The next issues would be the comfort and function of the space.

OAC is long due for their voyager orbiter equipment to build it. It amazes me that no company is going for a commercial space hotel like in the series "for all humankind". Which I think was really great btw.

[HossBlues]

Mentioning Star Trek when discussing artificial gravity? The Expanse actually uses a better method than magic.

[davidbarnes]

Use a minimum of 3 starships (more passenger ships could be added as needed), one (hub ship unmanned) as the center of rotation (thrust, center hub and cargo), the other two(four, six or more) would be connected to the nose lifting points of the center hub ship with 1/2 mile long cables. Each passenger ship would connect the cables to the hub, then deploy the cable to the 1/2 mile length. Creating a passenger ship(s) cabled to the hub ship that is cabled to the second passenger ship. Hub ship would be the center of rotation with the two passenger ships at the ends of each cable.1 mile apart from each other. Each passenger ship would use their thrusters to induce rotation. The hub ship would provide the thrust for all three ships (or more) using a nuclear engine. Once they arrive at Mars the process is revised and all three can land on Mars.

Centripidal force for artificial gravity would be complicated to get right, its reliability is unknown and it would only works if there is no linear acceleration from the engines (constant speed), unless you want gravity at weird angles. It makes more sense for a space station then a starship. Using linear acceleration is a much simpler solution for artificial gravity but need a constant acceleration instead of constant speed, not sure if this would be feasible for a trip to Mars though.

[bogglerful]

The technology for all this was developed sixty years ago.

[jimmccaffery]

With the gigantic amount of mass, consumables will require constant shifting of weight between whatever is at the ends of the teether. If it gets a little out of balance, it will rip itself apart. I guess they could use adjustable weights on some computer directed trackway. That has it’s own problems of conservation of momentum and the increasing and decreasing of the spin rate. Good luck to the guy who has to solve that problem.

[greggweber]

Make sure that the cable doesn't break. Extra weight of cable equipment and structure unless it is needed elsewhere for take off and landing.

[Keyman]

Fabricating idea is gonna degrade your credit.
