about artificial gravity |

In 1950's, von Braun wrote articles in his Collier
and he envisioned solving the problem of weightless through something
called artificial gravity. Von Braun thought that he could simulate
gravity by creating a white-wheeled space station that spun every
22 seconds. It looked like a gigantic dounut in space spinning once
every 22 seconds. This wasn't the kind of ship that could travel
to Mars, however it enlightened a new idea, a vision. Capsules connected
by Kevlar tethers that rotate around one anothe rlike a pinwheel
in a breeze., and three seperate ships connected like children in
a game of ring-around-the-rosy are two possibilities ways our space
ships on way to Mars can create artificial gravity to solve the
gravity problems. This idea of course is marvelous, however it requires
a whole new design and if one was to make that ship, it could require
tons of money. Artificial gravity is merely an idea that can be
a solution, however like every other idea it carries a very expensive
price tag.
