Im talking about..shielding the craft from the Earths gravitational field..and please,, dont tell me it cant be done...this question is strictly for those with an imagination..and those who try to think outside the box.

There is no known way to shield gravity. There are lots of ways to countereffect gravity using other forces, including other gravitational fields. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to think of ways. Look at Newton's equation. The gravitational force between two masses depends on their masses and distance, independent of the rest of the universe. This is not the case with electric and magnetic fields. The strong and weak nuclear forces probably can't be shielded either, but we probably don't know enough about them to know for sure.

Try to find the gravitional pull of two different planets or between the planet and space and work out the differences between them and "Float" there.

There are superfluids that can go up the sides of a glass against the pull of gravity. i would put a huge tank of this inside the space ship.

It can't be done.
