Episode 714: Q&A 134: Could Tethered Starships Provide Artificial Gravity? And More...
Description
In this week's Q&A show, I answer questions about Starship might be able to provide artificial gravity, whether I'd prefer to have LUVOIR or the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope, and if nuclear-powered rockets will work in space.
You can join me live every Monday on my YouTube channel at 5pm Pacific Time to ask your questions live.
