You have a point , Mr. Box . 
However , what if I'm hit by a truck tomorrow ?  Millions of cancer patients scream to death unnecessarily , or humanity loses it's only reactionless drive , or a thousand timeless questions go unanswered ?  Don't I have a moral obligation to humanity here ?
P.M.
I've tried ,  I  have lots of answers but  ''they''  don't  care .   I have loads of inventions I haven't posted , they think stealing  the ones I posted  is enough .  Oh boy !  'They'  missed out  on  serious  chit .

.................Back on topic .
Let us assume that we are using two-ship formations near future .  A tethered-rotation scenario is employed to provide artificial gravity .  A separation distance of one kilometer is used .  0.3 rpm. gives 10% Earth gravity , 0.6 rpm. gives 39% E.grav. , 1.0 rpm. gives 109% E.grav. ( G ) .  If done in orbit , a "log-roll" orientation yields best results .  It optimizes both visibility , and shuttle-craft access .  It is much easier for craft to dock if they can approach at the same altitude and speed .  Fly-by-wire should control the ships , and their rotation .  Triple redundancy releases should hold the super-strong tethers to the ships . Vacuum and radiation resistant composite-fiber materials would likely be optimum for this job .
Okay , gravity .

*Addendum : Rotating Stations .  These will have a central hub, for ingress/egress of ships/shuttles .The current concept is of a slot in the hub , with airtight door .  A much more practical design is that of a ring-hub , with safety-lips . This would be somewhat similar to a Hot-Wheels loop-the-loop track , with work-shops placed interior to it . Craft would slide sideways into the middle of the loop , then slowly descend onto the track . They would , in effect , land on an "air-strip" . They would then be towed into a bay , and a pressure-door would slide into place .
*Far easier/safer than the "slot".

P.M.

Are you claiming that saying things like that is creative?

I'm curious to know when he thinks someone actually stole one of his ideas.

It looks like you will need to wait until some "Low-brow School Grads" turn up + answer your question.

Come , come , O.G. !  I play off your mess with ribbing humor .  Think Rot-knee Danger-meadows !

P.S.- I'm going to keep asking until your ears bleed !

Getting to grips with how well your attitude of insulting people helps yet?
As a hint, you might want to read the rules.

After reading through your pile !  I just rib , you all pile o the "stupid" , and "dumb" , etc. comments .  Do not blame me for your insults , I act as the adult in the room , NOT the direct insulters . 
Now , if you can't hold your weight in debate , withdraw , do not queef out !  If you've finally realized that I was correct about the subject , MAN UP !  You say you run a company , but the best you can do is run to a cohort and go "Wah !" ? That is elementary-school stuff , not adult MAN !  If I flubbed so bad , I'd tape all my mirrors over !
Sheesh , hard to believe !
P.M. ........ ( a MAN ! )

I'm blaming you for your actions.

You need to check on how adults really act.
Quote from: Professor Mega-Mind on 09/12/2018 21:04:40
Now , if you can't hold your weight in debate , withdraw ,
You have yet to participate in a debate: you just childishly reassert that you are right and everyone else is wrong.
Quote from: Professor Mega-Mind on 09/12/2018 21:04:40
If you've finally realized that I was correct about the subject ,
You are still at least as wrong as you were at the outset, but with less excuse because your mistakes have been pointed out to you.
Quote from: Professor Mega-Mind on 09/12/2018 21:04:40
You say you run a company ,
Nope.
I never said that.
Quote from: Professor Mega-Mind on 09/12/2018 21:04:40
but the best you can do is run to a cohort and go "Wah !"
Actually the best I could do was get the  maths right- which is obviously  better than your best.
Quote from: Professor Mega-Mind on 09/12/2018 21:04:40

The science you are getting wrong is school stuff.
As an adult you should accept the limits of your understanding.
Quote from: Professor Mega-Mind on 09/12/2018 21:04:40
If I flubbed so bad , I'd tape all my mirrors over !
If you looked in the mirror you might see where your problem really is.

Quote from: Professor Mega-Mind on 09/12/2018 21:04:40
Sheesh , hard to believe !
Yes, but you keep acting this way.

Is it dawning on you that people are unlikely to help you if you start off by only asking for replies from "Low-brow School Grads"

BTW, did you read the rules?

First of all , obviously so .  That is why all of your posts contain direct insults , and mine do not .  I deflect your carp with humor , perhaps a little bit bite at times , but no one likes being called dumb , stupid , not adult , etc .  This chessmatch of barbs is not why I participate in forums , it is to share  & enjoy ideas .  The hostile crud origin as test with you , NOT me . All anyone need do is read your posts from the last several months , to clearly see that .
As far as the company biz goes , it was a cab company .  As far as the math goes , I made it clear from the start , that I had minimum  interest in formulas .  More basic forms suffice for my purposes ; pattern recognition , and system design . 
At any rate , I consider the behind-the-back crud , running away shrieking !  Par for the course ?

I would welcome other people getting involved in the discussion as well, but what is your definition of "low-brow school grads"? Anyone who has graduated high school but didn't go to college? Or do you simply mean anyone who isn't a scientist?

Anybody who graduated from what is called "High School" .  It's not like high-school students are the wisest , or most thoughtful people.
