I imagine it be easier to fake earth-like gravity on a station above a planet (say a rotating wheel space station) than on the planet.
Would a space elevator be possible somewhere like Ceres with lower gravity / atmosphere? If so, it would be much easier to resupply water and materials.
- vectorjohn 11y agoI'm sure a space elevator would be easy on Ceres, but with gravity like that, why bother? An electromagnetic launcher could be pretty small there, maybe even small enough to launch people without too much effort. Or regular rockets, since something very small would be able to escape.
