Chapter 237 Overtaking on a Bend_1

"Mark, Mark, take a look at this plan and analyze its feasibility."

"Oh shit! Although it looks a bit weird, it seems actually pretty good, much simpler than the centrifugal space station."

When Claire submitted specaX's plan for others to assess, the initial reaction was to wonder what the hell it was, but upon closer consideration, it seemed surprisingly reliable.

In Musk's plan, this gravity system based on ropes is called the "Flexible gravity device (FGD)" whereas New Yuan's ring-shaped gravity device is referred to as the "Hard gravity device (HGD)."

Compared to HGD, the greatest advantage of FGD is that it doesn't require frequent launches; only two spacecraft are needed to generate gravity.

This is great news for the Aerospace industry in America, which lacks gigantic reusable rockets like New Yuan-2A and New Yuan No. 3, and it's also very flexible to use, as it can be separated at any time.
