Orbital rings are a powerful alternative to space elevators for getting into space, but are often thought to be limited to a circle around the equator. Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g/join Visit our...
They say space is the future, out among the countless billions and billions of new worlds in our galaxy, but a journey needs a path or road, so what sort of roads will we build in space? Watch my exclusive video on Life As An Asteroid Miner:...
A Space Elevator on the Moon, made of mundane materials, could be built with modern technology, and allow ultra-cheap freight off the Moon. Watch my exclusive video on Retrocausality: https://nebula.tv/videos/isaacarthur-retrocausality Get Nebula using my link for 40%...
Space Elevators offer the possibility of ultra-cheap space travel for all, but even if we find strong enough materials to build one, can we place them near our cities or only on the equator? See our episode Space Elevators for more details:...

Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/ For centuries we've sailed from ports across the deep blue sea, and to sail into the ocean of the night to new worlds and stars, we will need some Space Ports. Visit our Website:...
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/ The option of using floating platforms, balloons, or cargo air planes to launch rockets into space and save fuel is often discussed but rarely employed. Today we'll look at stratostations, rockoons, and...
The Launch Loop is a type of space vehicle launch assist mechanism that allows us to transfer vast amounts of energy and momentum from ground based generators to a launch vehicle high in the upper atmosphere. View Lofstrom's 2009 updated paper:...
In this episode we'll be looking at improvements to rocket systems, with the main focus on re-usability. We will also look a bit deeper at rocketry principles, at some other improvements and alternative uses for rockets, such as oceanic launches, and discuss Metallic...
In this episode we examine the concept of a Space Elevator, a popular piece of developing technology designed to lift people and cargo into space at a fraction of normal launch costs. We will look at technology as well as many of the misconceptions about Space...
