This problem is easily solved.

The price/cost of lift continues to fall, thereby enabling bigger ships to be built in orbit.

Those bigger ships can use centrifugal force to simulate gravity. At precisely 1.0 Gs.

They can then be propelled out of orbit spinning on their axis like a bullet.

The concept has been widely understood for NEARLY a century.
