Gravitics (space station startup)

[tater]

54 people. That station mockup is 7.6m in diameter.

Tax office is in game. 
Somebody should drive fifty billionaires to the station to test it. Only the taxists can do that.

On the another hand, they will see the abyss above and below, and realize, what can happen to the one, who doesn't pay taxes.

Gives a sense of scale to Starship, or even New Glenn (7m).

I wonder if OP could fix the spelling of Gravitics in the topic line.   Until later, friends!  Spellig Nardzi  out!

maybe they can make a DY-100 using these modules

wait, where have I seen those windows before?

not perfect, but pretty close. Also the hab section in this is 8m in diameter so... not bad ig

though I sized the hab modules to fit in an SLS Block II fairing for some reason

Maybe EUS can outlive SLS as a high-energy third stage for expendable Starship launches

Hope they fill that thing with plenty of bungees or a lot of astronauts are going to end up on long rides from one side to the other.

Guess the layout makes sense for a station, but

what are they going to use the mezzanine floor for

and can these be strapped together floor-outwards into a gravity ring

I love the coming age of big space habitats. No more cramped modules, this is the 21st century, we orbit in style.

Hey now, Skylab was pretty big in its own right.

Gravitics is the one that makes methalox vernier thrusters! I knew I hadn't imagined them.

They have a product that Starship could use, I think.
