Description	This paper proposes a new method and transportation system to fly into space, to the Moon, Mars, and other planets. This transportation system uses a mechanical energy transfer and requires only minimal energy so that it provides a 'Free Trip' into space. The method uses the rotary and kinetic energy of planets, asteroids, moons, satellites and other natural space bodies. computations for the following projects: 1. Non-Rocket Method for free launch of payload in Space and to other planets. The low cost project will accommodate one hundred thousand tourists annually. 2. Free Trips to the Mars for two thousand annually. 3. Free Trips to the Moon for ten thousand people annually. The projects use artificial materials like nanotubes and whiskers that have a ratio of tensile strength to density equal 4 million meters. In the future, nanotubes will be produced that can reach a specific stress up 100 millions meter and will significantly improve the parameters of suggested projects. The author is prepared to discuss the problems with serious organizations that want to research and develop these inventions.
