I fucking love O'Neill Cylinders
@starwall We should be building these instead of dicking around with "colonizing Mars".
@starwall @cagi look like the one in Interstellar
@starwall I'm thinking of designing fjords for them.
@starwall if toroidal stations are the doughnuts, these are the doughnut holes

@starwall to be honest, looking outside it might be way too dark to really see, and insofar you do see, it rotates bit too fast.

And it is a giant window you have to engineer... Think just a closed cylinder with a concentrator feeding light at the end might be better..

Totally second people saying this is better than Mars. It's way better...

Imagine living in "zeppelins" basically, wires hang ~100m overhead, and "houses" hang on them and can move around. But that's for really low pop density.

@starwall imho more realistic solarpunk is more needed/useful than scifi. (just saying)
@jasper I think that we're very far off from building the first true orbital habitats, though it doesn't hurt to dream, friend.
@starwall Do you have any information about the top right image? Like, who made it?
