10-04-2015 10:49pm#1Could this $300 billion 'space mushroom' replace the ISS? Giant rotating station would create artificial gravity for astronauts
A Washington, DC-based company called United Space Structures wants to create a new space station. Their giant cylinder (shown, with the ISS and Space Shuttles illustrated) could apparently replace the ISS. It would rotate four times per minute to create artificial gravity, and would be 1,300ft (400 metres) long, cost £200 billion ($300 billion) and take 30 years to build
An artificial gravity test Nasa performed in September 1966. The Gemini 11 spacecraft was attached to an Agena target vehicle and spun, with the astronauts reporting a small amount of artificial gravity in their spacecraft0
