# Conjoined Spaceship Concepts The XLDron M Gravity is Designed for Casual Cosmonauts By Michael Hines | Published 2013-01-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xldron-m-gravity References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/xldron-m-gravity-space-tourism-by-oscar-vinals/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/XLDron-M-Gravity/6032331) The XLDron M Gravity is a [conceptual vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-walkers) designed by Oscar Vinals for space tourism. The ship consists of two parts: an unmanned rocket booster (the XLDron) and a docking station (the M Gravity). The booster would be used to get travelers into orbit. Once the appropriate altitude is reached, Vinals says 65,000 feet should do, the M Gravity pops off of the XLDron and fires up its own engines to reach space. The ship would only be capable of cruising the cosmos for a short amount of time before it would need to be docked again. As futuristic of a design as the XLDron M Gravity is, don’t be shocked to see something like this become commonplace in the next few years.
