Agent13 said:1) states that it is a very long hook thousands of metres long and was designde for docking ports(that are no longer in use). Docking to a space station would generate gravity via centrifugal force.
That would be centripetal force

A space station docked to in this way would need to be exceptionally huge (something like 1000 times the mass of the Hyperion) for this to work effectively or it would rapidly spin itself out of orbit as the combination would no longer be rotating about the station's centre of mass, but the combined centre of mass of the two. Not pretty, not pretty at all. Additionally, if this cable is thousands of metres long, then the effective gravity at the Hyperion end is likely to be, say, a factor of 9 higher than it is at the outer surface of the rotating section of the spacestation, so probably about 9g... erk.
The physicist in me can't see this working on any level...
Harddocking at the rim of the station, counterbalanced on the otherside of teh station by another Hyperion would be more feasible, and I'd still not attempt it...
