Bullet train to the MOON!?

Generally, we all must have traveled to places like Madurai, Chennai, Bangalore, and Delhi by train. Can we travel to the moon? On the train!?  The answer to this question is yes. 

Researchers from Kyoto University in Japan along with Kajima Construction designed an interplanetary transportation system called Hexatrack. The powerful space transportation system for the moon, Mars and Earth.

The train will not be limited to one planet. Instead, it will be able to stop at stations on earth, the moon, and Mars by using linear motors, and rocket engines to launch it from one station to the other. Each cart of the train will be further transported in hexagon capsules to avoid exposure to cosmic rays.

The researchers' ambitious idea also comes with artificial-gravity buildings on the Moon and Mars. The plan represents important technologies crucial to ensuring human beings will be able to move to space in the future. The team of researchers believes that gravity is essential to the well-being of future space dwellers. Without gravity, mammals might not be able to reproduce. When a person grows under a zero or low gravity environment, their body would change so they wouldn't be able to stand up on earth.



How do they achieve that gravity in space?

By using the centrifugal force created by rotational motion. The team shows habitats built perpendicularly and set in an orbit that likely turns at a very high speed. the habitats are filled with water as well as green pastures making them ideal for the human population.


It only become possible in the 22nd century. Though, intersting isn't it?
