    Bingo. To manipulate that momentum you need to create greater force to get the right vectors. In space they use separate jets as no fins or passive devices would work - nothing to hang on to.

    When you have external friction acting on the device, it depends on the configuration of the device. That is why StarTrek uses mythical inertia dampeners!

    Anyone who finds a solution to inertia could be very rich...

    Yeah, most sports cars, even really good ones, can corner at 1G tops (They test this in Motor Trend all the time on a track designed for it). Think about what 1 G is. That's how much the car would weigh if the grappling hook were suspending it from a cliff or something. 2 G's or 3 G's..... and that'd have to be a very strong cable.
