Starship will absolutely enable grand efforts like this.

If I was 45 years younger, I'd jump on the opportunity to participate.

I am 70 and I would go in a heartbeat

I really hope that you guys succed. You deserve it and the human race needs people like you and Elon Musk to help us to progress.

It would be a lot more efficent to build in Lunar orbit, and transport the results elsewhere.

This paradigm shift is within our grasp, I want to work on the docks too. I'm talking about 18 hr shifts. Also putting SKIN in the game. LCM99

GREAT AND MESMERIZING VIDEO, making the French Sci-Fi writer that I am dream! 🙂

Great intro :) lets go to space!

These are really beautiful designs, and inspiring messages. What goes on inside the station? I think all that's missing is the commercial incentive.

I fervently hope this really happens sooner than later !

As an engineer I'm very aware of stack up of tolerances. How does the ring machine ensure that the two ends of the ring meet? It's such a huge scale. How do you account for thermal expansion and general misalignment of panels? Over that distance you could be quite a few centimeters or even meters off

Gateway Spaceport your idea ROCKS !!! We wish you the very best for the future.

Looking forward to where you go from here all things need a beginning....

@Gateway Spaceport LLC. I really hope you are right and this comes to fruition. However: This channel has suddenly skewed from what they want to achieve to what SpaceX can, and is doing, coupled with flashy footage from the Star Trek franchise . What are the developments at Gateway Spaceport LLC , or are you still seeking funding?

If we could find a way to stop fighting each other, we could spend a trillion dollars a year on this, just imagine what we could do.

Inspiring!

Please tell us about your pros and cons compared to the Pioneer and Voyager space stations

I died with the Galaxy Quest clip. Thank you!!

Another fifty years to go, we will see a space port before the end of this century. if you're at school know and hoping to go to university later put this on your list to do.

Let's get the tools ready and sheet metals in production

Yesssss so happy

The Ocean Gate of space.

You wouldn't want to use 1/4 impulse-power in space-dock as that is 6.25% of light-speed.

The need for advanced logistics will be crucial to the success of this endeavor. Ground based operations are already in place for large mega projects, launch based infrastructure is rapidly coming of age, the systems you are developing will need its own unique qualities to complete the mission ahead, and resupply is, as of yet, to be tested for large scale provision. All of these systems will have to operate seamlessly to be successful. Hope your business model is fruitful and profitable.

Good luck !

I wounder how well cold welding could be used in outer space rather then using heat, I believe this method would be easier and more efficient.

The military application of that air bus production line would be sick. NGADs built in a day with this type assembly line and 3d metal, poly and plastic printing. Have an AI run the whole show, give it a snazzy name like skynet and what could possibly go wrong.

These guys are dreamers.... I LIKE THAT!

It's about time... so cool.. and yes I follow spacex...nasa etc... I am an engineer by trade... mechanical electronics computer builder and general space enthusiasts since 1960..."never give up never surrender " for real.

My job? Asteroid mining.

Yeah, it'll buff out!

The starship is not the 747 of space, merely the DC3...

Imagine if the Wright brothers could have witnessed the jumbo Jet landing, or even the massive A380!

would certainly accelerate human expansion into the solar system. imagine a humungous spaceport dock 4 a fleet of vehicles

the trick to building structures in space is building an inflatable Carbon weave tube structure with netting between each and using a Form of crystalization gel on the weave till it creates a coocoon which can be presurized with atmosphear once payloads can deploy in space and can be connected to gether then you can so some really big time shit in space. mega stuctures can be assembled peace by peace once you have a way to buuld ships in space and locate raw materials maybe from the moon you can eventually colonization becomes easier. asembling a stucture in segments wouldn't be a quick as Fabric and sealant foam. but having the strength of the webbing fabric needs to be able to deal with presure and also to install piping internally to keep feeding layers to thinken and harden the outter wall, eventually you can reinforce it with plating the major problem is not tilting the structure's orbit because it would still require earth's gravity to maintain a stable orbit. as all bodies in space are constantly moving

We NEED Spacedock's to Construct Ships off Planet. As it's much Easier and Cheaper than Launching from the Surface. Not to mention the Sacrifices that some have made to progress to this point. And to continue into the Future. I watched the Apollo II Moon Landing, and was 5 years old at the time, I'm Loving this New push into Space that is happening now! Space-X is at the Forefront right now, and it's Fantastic to see the Private Sector jumping Full Throttle into the Undiscovered Country of the Future! NO AI like Hal from 2001 A Space Odessy!!!! BAD IDEA, VERY BAD!!!!!

if we can design a graphic and then create the graphic in a engineering programme we can build physical parts and assemble them so 'show us the money'.

We need you to make a Presidential Peace Palace before April 3, 2033. Lead by USAF-USSF (US).😉

Just do it.

It all looks awesome, my childhood dream becoming true. But now I wonder, if we build entire clusters of fully sized space stations, they will work as moon / satellite. Just for safety measures: did anyone checked what will be influence for planetary climate ?

500 people at 200 pounds per person would be 100,000 pounds of cargo, plus luggage and add food and water and you will max out your capacity. There really is not room for that many people. 4 floors at 100 people each would be packing them in like sardines. You would have about 500 square feet of useable space on each floor. Then there is the weight of all those seats. I think that a hop to orbit would be doable but not to mars or the moon with over 400 people. Then you have to have enough space to house them all. You are the only company thinking bigger is better like I am so I hope we both succeed.

"or anything else that might require that shape" (death star)

Man’s greatest chance of moving on from this planet and solar system starts with AI & robotic technology. It will be quicker and safer.

Don’t get my hopes up. When you get larger, try to get people who can’t afford all the schooling, teach them specifically your machines. You will have an endless supply of people who, otherwise, would never get a chance. This is a dream to a lot of people like me.

They still have never show how the ring gets closed up. I guess that has yet to be engineered.

While Space Tourism or Space Hotels are fine a more functional use of a Dual-Ring Station is as a planetary Cycler. With the rings being matched to the gravity of Earth and its destination (such as Mars). In this way pioneers can be acclimated to their destination long before they get there.

I have a bold proposal for your engineering think tank: let's build a long and continuous space station with a minor angle change, inspired by the Italian Cellentani Pasta design extruder. Imagine a 300m spinning "Cellentani" shape station with two Sargon machines on either end, capable of producing and assembling different modules and components. This way, we can create the first 1 km spinning citytown in space, with all the amenities and facilities we need. We can also add external modules for space docking, arms and special manufacturing research modules. As development grows, we can expand our project to build the first "Cellentani" Dyson ring around asteroids for material mining, or even around the moon or the Earth. This is a visionary idea that will revolutionize space exploration and colonization. Make a video breakdown to show how we can create, launch, build, supply, service and manpower a "Cellentani" 1km long citystation, a presentation to illustrate the concept.

We as humans aint gonna achieve jack squat if we can't get along down here first.

Taken many decades to develop all that stuff for ship building, it's simply not going to be adapted to function in zero g without decades more testing, tweaking and in some cases having to go completely back to the drawing board.

Gateway should start smaller with something plain that generates revenue: An orbital fuel depot capable of receiving or dispensing fuel of multiple types to multiple ship/rocket systems. Make THAT work and then go bigger in stages to work yourself up to a rotating space station/dock.

😁🌏How are you on this sunny evening in Lismore, NSW? I support you.

I want a job build the future

They are correct. In order to travel to another planet you do need to have a space port in SPACE that constructs that ship IN space. not on the ground. and be able to launch it FROM above the earth.

Damn I was born 40 years too early.

Thing is, you might as well build it on Earth and take off for outer space from here. Otherwise it won't be such a hot Space traveling machine will it?.

if it turns out David Pares' warp drive actually works, and someone invests in that, you'll not only get your warp drive - you might not need SpaceX, either...

Could a ship launch from the outside ring of a rotating station? I think ships should dock at the center then be moved to the outside. Don't forget one of the biggest reasons for the station is access to zero gravity. Living facilities can be on the outside but zero-G research and manufacturing shouldn't be an after thought. Docking at the stationary zero-G center is obvious but other ship operations may benefit from gravity.

I am 26 and I will go :)

" I could either watch it happen or be a part of it.". Elon Musk. So become a Gateway Member, and be part of the crew. I did, and it was easy. There is free Gateway Membership, if you want it. So, be a part of it!

747 was actually made for the airforce competition for a new cargo transport aircraft, ultimately the 747 lost the competition to C5 galaxy, so boeing decided to sell the aircraft commercially.

Keep dreaming big! It's big dreamers like Elon or you guys that keep dreaming and following their dreams will get us there!

👍🏼👍🏼😎

Yeah, i cannot stop thinking about starship refuelling. If starships can dock, why wouldn't you dock 8 of them together, use the fuel tanks as habitats, like Skylab, and sls Skylab 2 concept. You have a lunar cycler. Take any animation of parallel refuelling, thats two starships now put tank and hatches 90 degrees dock 2 more then, dock four, now take the tail dock animations dock two docked 4s together, thats 8, each with more space than the ISS best approach to a lunar cycler is 3 of them. Same with landing and parking starships on the moon, or as stations and fuel depots in low lunar orbit. You don't need an orbital dock yard, but, if you wanted some space debris shielding, and to add an external hull and scaffolding to a group of starships, it may make it easier. The true opportunity, is getting a bus fare price ticket to orbit, 2 or 300 dollars, not everyone will go to the moon, but, an affordable ticket to orbit, thats space tourism, do it safe, people will pay for that veiw. People will work for it. But hotel accommodation on cyclers lunar stations and bases, that'll come.

If I had £100B I would definitely invest

Is welding in space easier than on earth, there may be no need to use argon or CO2 in the process?

Second the first constuction rig is built it will;l build all the rest

I just need to find out how to invest.

AFDM-6

它會實現的，它不是夢想，因為我已經在太空站裡，好奇地從螢幕中，尋找自己的藍色星球。我的太空站沒有很複雜，形狀像保特瓶，非常寬敞又明亮，操作簡單，唯一的麻煩，就是只有自己一個人，其他人呢？

You need asteroid iron for this station. It is impossible to lift such an amount of iron from the surface of the Earth.

I've been following you guys since the beginning and I promise you I will either work with you or for you next chance you guys open for investments I have to get another email so I can join the effort. I work in heavy manufacturing automotive, and have exactly the skill set you will need for this kind of project.

beatyfull future... but only for the smartest, fittest, and young people. Elon Will be interested, just show him some long future plans... both can make billions in and for a long long time. but don't forget having all and everything for a long time, don't forget those keeping that way..

Mister Saavik? "MISTER"?

Sp how's that construction going?

What powers all this?

any updates?

Well a nice vid, but before the wrath of Star Trek comes upon you... the starship shown was a Constitution class... not a Galaxy

Why you dont use A.I. to predict best shape and construction for space station and why not to make artificial gravity, tractor beams and print all automatically in space from big 3d printer. Everything is there to do it now and I know how.

Galaxy class (Star Trek) is in the Next Generation, NOT TOS and it's movies. TOS was "Constitution class". Not sure what the refits were (NCC 1701A), probably still Constitution class.

Buenisísismo (ale, traducir eso)

where can i send my application for job?

Stop funding warships, start funding Starships

when do are you starting money collection please ?

Why not build a satelite recycling program in space with your developmental program. Start generating money faster with this idea. Do some kind of research to get your company to generate money fast.

Ever seen Babylon 5??

Just for the record,... the reason they can build the Enterprise on earth, and then lift into orbit, is do to something know as a Warp Field or Gravity Engine,.... a Warp Field or Gravity Engine can either be Full -On or Fractionaly-On,.... Fractionaly-On allows you lift things like a Starship, from a shipyard, into orbit from a terrestrial surface,... and that is why when the new franchize shows rocket thrusters being used to lift Enterprise into orbit it makes J.J. Abrams look out of touch with that universe.

You kept saying galaxy-class when you were showing us a constitution-class

building large starships to traves the solar system and beyond is completely possible with current technology. starship will be the heavy lifter which is its best function. building large ships for colonization is more efficient than using starship. it is just simple math. if America does not take advantage of this and do this then others will and will beat America to the punch. catch up or be left behind is the moto of the day. time to step up or sit down and get out of the way.

This is needed badly, just to get some of us off the planet.

THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM

Dream worth of working for but please be more realistic, because if you omit deal breakers, your dream is not realistic. If you admit to need this and that, then those things will be invented, although it may require more people to work on various challenges. Also please try to bit more accurate, in ISS etc. reference. All major space contributors like ESA in not 'national' and commercial space business is 'born global'.

the usa is way behind the russians in space technology and they don't lie about going to the moon

And with the technology we have today we could not save the small sub that imploded near the titanic that killed 4 men and NASA thinks space travel is possible we need Alien technology

Always there seems to be a lot of talk and nothing else space stations star ships all dreams and talk when is the talk going to stop and action started, how many decades since man set foot on the moon and how far have we come since then, Space X are awesome for what they have done is such short time, they have totally put NASA to shame, we need more Space X companies and less NASA incompetence

Nothing like paying $60/yr for the opportunity to be an employee on a space station that doesn’t exist outside of cheesy renders 😂 wonder what this guy takes for a salary out of that vaporware payment before this thing goes belly up

In reality Most people watching this video WONT even be alive by the time they actually start building any of these huge space stations. Oh yes they talk all about what they are gonna do and that they have the ability and technology to build them BUT so far let most things it's just all talk no action. So by the time they ever start building everyone watching now will have died from old age.

We don’t live in Star Wars 😂 👇

Let's get building no. Wasting time

Cool, but what is the power source of the assembly machine? I guess the welders need a ton of energy.
