So if you had a automated ship taking just stuff to say mars and you wanted to get there with as little fuel as possible could you use magnets? I ask cause I was thinking if you had a ship with a telescopic tether between the front of the ship and rear then on the rear there is a small thruster to create force and the other side of that an electro magnet and at the rear of the ship (not telescopic section) another magnet and for a split second created say both magnets to have south polars to repel then with the furthest magnet having thrust on it would the ship not just shoot forward then the telescopic tether reeled in and the process repeated till a speed is achieved to make it to mars or where ever you needed to go get very fast? Trying to wrap my head around the mass and weight seeing as in space an object would not weigh and provided one part had thrust it would be like that area was against a mass and pushing the other away. I might be completely wrong just was thinking about this and found this video. If I am very wrong please let me know where my logic (if it can be called that) went wrong.

@@dwightmanne saying I am wrong without adding as to the why sounds like you said it because you could without knowing yes or no. So troll on somewhere else please unless you can explain as to the why.

Discouraged that someone from NASA would say that you don't weigh anything in orbit. While your APPARENT weight is zero, the force of gravity on you (also known as your weight) is not zero. Your weight is the force that is holding you in orbit. As you orbit, you are in a constant state of free fall, you are just moving sideways fast enough that you never hit the ground. If you didn't weigh anything you would leave orbit in a straight line following Newton's First Law. The nominal orbit of the space shuttle is 278 km above the surface. That means that the force of gravity on an astronaut is ~92% of its value at the surface.

Hey brainiac. They didn't say that.

So even high in space, the gravity there would be pretty much the same as on earth? Surprising as it looks like they are floating.
