GLS2: Artificial Gravity for SpaceX’s Starship

Why go to mars like it’s 1995 if artificial gravity can be practical by 2024? Skip Intro: 2:07 Spin Grav & Propulsion Math: 7:13 Why Gravity is Important: 5:59 This is a concept that I am describing with an animation. The design as seen in the animation is just a visual representation and will likely be improved in future versions. The goal of the Gravity Link Starship concept is to provide a spin gravity that re-uses the main engines, taps left over fuel, and avoids impractical space construction and spacewalks. The GLS is basically a hub ship, like the hub of a wheel. Instead of humans and cargo the payload bay of the GLS is filled with truss that can robotically fold out and lock into place serving as the wheel’s spokes. Once on the way to a distant destination like Mars, 2 Passenger Starships will make their approach to the attachment points at the ends of the deployed truss. Once attached, one Starship remains
