This is simply the case for @gravitylab. It’s been a journey. I don’t know its outcome, which is hard to admit. But I hope a needle got moved on a worthy problem.
I’m anthropocentric. I just had a conversation with someone whom I thought was an inspiration, but turned away from the vision of human value. Sorry there are limiting business cases for being human. But I’m still in that fight, personally.
We do this stuff to preserve life and its richness. I want our art to never die. Or at least not before it’s time.

Yes we are. And we haven’t shoved it to the back of our roadmap (not a criticism of the awesome companies in this space, simply that we’ve committed for better or worse @gravityLabSpace to this being the core and immediate problem to tackle from mission 1.
It’s wonderful to see others in this space, and I think we’ll see spin gravity at some scale happen in the next handful of years.

Fun podcast to do, thanks to Evona!
TL;DR: read a lot. Surround yourself with amazing people. Fall in love with the things you spend time on. Don’t be afraid to fail.

@GrantBonin on @gravityLabSpace! Talking not just how to explore and live in space, but how we can ✨thrive✨ 💪

Grant Bonin, Co-Founder & CEO of @gravityLabSpace, will give a plenary talk at the 2024 International Mars Society Convention in August. His Seattle-based company specializes in artificial gravity satellites for research and manufacturing in low Earth orbit. #mars2024 #science

DFL is a world-class test facility. I’ve had the privilege of doing environmental test campaigns of satellites spanning three orders of magnitude in size there. Good luck recreating this capability if it goes away…
In an age where low-cost big satellites might finally become cost-effective, the death of DFL is a move in a fool-hearty direction @csa_asc

@ID_AA_Carmack we should talk about @gravityLabSpace :) this is essentially what we are doing but for extremely low-cost – at Washington, USA
Spin gravity for space has been talked about since before I was born, but still hasn’t been demonstrated. @SpaceX should Just Do It with a Dragon capsule, counterweight, and cable.

I wish that this far into the space age we had better data on how humans function at gravity levels >µG and <1G. I've been beating that drum for coming up on 20yrs now. Glad to see companies like @vast and @GraviticsInc and @gravityLabSpace trying to create AG orbital platforms.

Way more cost effective to do this with @gravityLabSpace

Very cool work being done by Kevin Crosby at Carthage on propellant gauging in space. @gravityLabSpace was fortunate enough to help with a prior STTR, and hoping to see this tech make orbit soon #ASGSR2023

Goooood evening Logan! #smallsat2023 – at Logan, UT

We know a lot about human biology in 1 G. A fair amount about zero-g. And vanishingly little about everything in-between. A new startup headed by @grantbonin wants to change that. On @gravityLabSpace :

We need gravity to live healthily. But how much? – at Seattle, WA
A new study shows that astronauts who spend over 6 months in space suffer brain swelling—and it can take as long as 3 years on Earth to recover ti.me/3N0YoDE

Interesting new findings on muscle atrophy in partial gravity. This is one of the great unknowns for operating long-term in space environments. nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Looking forward to this artificial gravity discussion tomorrow/Wednesday!
For decades we've been working on how to GO to space.
It's time we start working on how to STAY there for as long as we want.
I'm excited to join @TarekWaked @GarretsonPeter @smvllstvrs for this @BEbeyond20 #artificialgravity program on January 18th!

Great visualization and explainer via @gretchenreynold and @wneff, however "despite every available precaution and protection" overlooks that working and living in some amount of engineered artificial gravity can likely eliminate most of these issues.
