go, enact artificial gravity, it's just, in other words, they're saying, enact the BS.

Oh!

Turn on the BS so that we don't float, so that we don't float around.

rotating? What do you have going there?
Ariel EkblawGUEST
7:42
yes so the initial conception is using microgravity to help themselves right so they're floating in space And then some of the work of Aurelia Institute that you had alluded to earlier is moving beyond these just kind of, you know, passive pressure containing orbs to actually rotating them to get artificial gravity.
Ariel EkblawGUEST

So the next series of projects that we're working on designing are around the artificial gravity direction.

But the way that we work at Aurelia is we test out these concepts in miniature in space demonstration missions, technology demonstration missions.

So the technology behind Tesserae, the small tiles have been tested twice now on the International Space Station.
Ariel EkblawGUEST

They're still under development.
Ariel EkblawGUEST
8:21
And we're just beginning to conceive of a similarly small scale test bed that will help us learn more about bearings and rotating large pieces of architecture in space to get artificial gravity.
Ariel EkblawGUEST

But it's all part of this larger tech roadmap.
