    What do you think of smaller centrifuges used on the Moon or Artificial Gravity on the Moon?

    The problem with tether is that tethered objects tent to fly towards each other. The only way to counteract it is to make the tether rigid which would make it massive and weight almost as much as the ship. Now we’re back to square 1, when the construction will start to rotate in the axis of the tether. The only reasonable way to make artificial gravity is to make donut shaped ship where the outer wall will be the floor. It’s the only stable configuration. Now, it doesn’t have to be a true circle! You can simply attach dozens of ships together in a circular orientation. This is much easier, much less wasteful, and does not require any major in-flight construction!

    The moron that is Elon Musk is making out he wants to push Humanity towards Mars. Yet he is the one filling the Earths orbit with ever increasing amounts of orbiting junk from his rockets etc leading to a potential of it eventually being impossible to get a space craft through all that junk! Anything that goes up there will be torn to shreds by chunks of rocket, satellites and pieces of and all the way down to lethal and tiny flakes of paint that will be like tiny ultra high velocity armour piercing bullets. Musk has made it ever cheaper for countries and companies to send their crap into orbit and this will eventually form a complete junk shield surrounding the Earth. Maybe it's for the best? We as a species are destructive, polluting, murderous scumbags and if we could we would spread like an infection through our Solar System and beyond given the opportunity. We would wreck the entire Milky Way, luckily it appears that who/whatever lead to our creation has built in a system that will stop us going intergalactic (not counting Andromeda, on a collision course with the Milky Way anyways) what with all other galaxies shooting away from us many times faster than the speed of light.

    Theoretically why not though? It's better for long duration. Fleets of ships will likely travel interplanetary like ocean fleets did colonizing the Americas there are extra life boats if something we're to go wrong. If they are all traveling together, why not attempt to utilize this principle? The only reason I could think is because you need a distance of about twice the length of the ISS or a few football fields for it to simulate Earth gravity, but what about adapting to lessoned Mars gravity? Or suffering the mild effects of motion illness with a quicker rotation speed to counteract a smaller diameter for the ships to spin

    I suppose the one nice thing about the tethered method is since that would cause the gravity to be in the same direction as when the starship lands, allowing you to design the interior to be used the same way on land and in space, a minor benefit but a cool one

    that area rule sounds much too dumb to be an actual rule. Surely the equalization has to be angularly close? contribution from the wings can't just be countered by a dip at the top of the fuselage? it must be right at the foot of the wing

  • @ConHathy
    @ConHathy8 күн бұрын

    No, it can be on the top of the fuselage. Look at the 747: later versions had the hump on top of the fuselage extended to help with the area ruling despite it not being near the actual wings. This configuration counterintuitively gave it more cargo space with a net decrease in drag

    @@ConHathy thank you. I notice that the extended upper version didn't come out until 1983 but it could still be experimental data before it was done. Wiki says the extended upper were on request from airlines though. And I note that the supposed benefit doesn't kick in until above the max cruise speed of the 747 at the time. So it could never benefit from it according to that data but if the data is real, it's interesting nonetheless. Would be interesting to see that experiment done again, perhaps in good simulation as well to explore the airflow and shocks, if the area rule is in fact in effect.

    The real news here is that $3 billion dollars is $10 out of the pocket of every man woman and child in the US. So multiply the number of people in your house(if you have one!) by $10 and that is how much has been taken from you every time the government gives away another $3 billion. They spent $30billion well muliply that number by 10 again.

    one concept not covered by this video, that I think would actually be quite nice, is to have two starships dock nose-to-nose, no tether required. Yes, it'll be a short radius, and having the crew cabins near the center of rotation compared to the fuel "wastes" the strongest centrifugal force, but it's easily the least complex and most practical approach. keep in mind, they don't need a full gee, just enough of a gradient to stave off the worst effects

    I think you're right, but more interestingly hexagons are 2D. the shape, the term 2D and the word "flat" are all interchangeable. i'm sure there's some logic like squares are rectangles but rectangles are not squares, with the words I've gave, but none the less, 2D means Hexagon. Particles like atoms, most harmoniously stack in hexagonal formations, this is why bees and rock and so many other things as shown in CGP Grey's video; Because hexagons are the foundation to the 3rd dimension. where subject as you bring up, orientation, and tension can deform atomic hexagonal formations' triangular gaps into rectangles and pentagons introducing curvature in matter.

Таким образом вектор тяги всегда направлены в одну сторону, прям как в лифте. Бах, у вас искусственная гравитация. Если хотите, чтобы было как на земле, то нужно ускоряться 9.8 км,/ч но это пока не достижимо. Зато можно постепенно кскоряться с помощью ионых двигателей

I think he even mentioned that triangles were the strongest, but would require a lot more material to construct, and so for the amount of material in a pattern that takes up the least amount of wasted space, hexagons were ideal. I'm not saying you are wrong about anything. I'm just saying that he qualified his 'strongest 'shape with conditions. You seemed to imply that he declared hexagon the strongest shape period, and I didn't get that impression.
