>crop rotation
what fucking year is this?

Where does it get illumination from?
What is it made out of, because not a single material can keep up this much rotating shit.
Also dont want to get shot from the other side.

why the fields aren't in straight lines? and why are they so small? what a fuck up

you seem a bit dense user

Bezos is going to build one.

Smaller Torus type colonies are probably better for earlier space habitation, the O'niel cylinder are very much mature technology and require a greater scope.

I doubt they'll be spun at 1g though, Probably in the region of 0.5-0.75

silk for calde

The question is: can you drop these colonies on planets? Say, Earth, for example.

nice try zeon terrorist, fuck off.

You retard, it's a sphere. How you gonna simulate gravity at the two sides of it that spin the slowest?

FYI, a tower, or, dunno, a hotel, also serves this purpose well too, so you’re fucked anyways bb

How are the crops getting light? Is it sunlight or uv lamps?

A lot of plants use the sun’s movement to strengthen themselves. Without that same sun movement, genetically manipulation would be necessary. And if we’re at that point, may as well genetically manipulate the plants to grow in zero gravity environments.

most of these designs have direct sunlight or reflect it into the habitat with mirrors

Ill start believe that once just one of his zillion companies isn't sustained by gubbamint loans and his own personal, dwindling, money.

What happens if you get to the center of one of these spinning things? Would you just be spit out to the other side? Wouldn’t you lose a bit of angular momentum and become weightless inside this spinning thing?

Why the fuck would we be farming at that point? If we had technology on that scale we'd probably just be drinking some kind of highly advanced supplement that would be engineered to give us all the nourishment we needed for a whole week.

Ideally you shouldn't be able to. The buildings would be built on the inside of the walls.

Humans have this fetish of getting more and more sofisticated technology to do things for them, yet remain completely human.

>we'd probably just be drinking some kind of highly advanced supplement that would be engineered to give us all the nourishment we needed for a whole week.

Thankfully a lot of people like cooking and eating actual food and your shit will be onions meme material.

Yeah, the center would be zero-g.

windows and mirrors to reflect in sunlight.

We've had the technology since the 70's to build an O'Neill cylinder but we'd much rather shoot at each other then build something really cool

source?

dude trust me

>We've had the technology since the 70's to build an O'Neill cylinder
While true you wouldn't want to live in one. The big problem with the bad boys is the comic radiation being deadly part. Long term space habitation isn't feasible unless we figure out a way to magically generate a magnetosphere around each one.

You think to yourself. wow, humanity actually has the technology and the resources to build one of these if we all came together why haven't we built one of these yet. Well when we figured out just how much radiation our short space flights were exposing people to suddenly living in space didn't look all that appealing.

>gravity
if its gigantic enough then you dont need artificila gravity, its gonna habe enogh gravity to hold things

That thing is not nearly massive enough to have sufficient gravity look at those fields and rivers, you can even make out some bridges. That thing is less than 20km in diameter probably closer to 15km, Pluto for example is 1700 km in diameter and it's surface gravity is 0.063g.

Logs too complicated for you? Might want to go back to school kiddo.

good thing these habitats are enormous and full of atmosphere that is opaque to gamma rays and other harmful radiation

Why would anyone wanna create an inbred population like that?

Well, notice how it's inside out? If the gravity were from mass it would be directed inward. Obviously this thing's gravity is the result of fast spinnan thus directed outward

>full of atmosphere
Not going to save you, our atmosphere barely filters any radiation and certainly not enough to keep us safe. It's our Magnetosphere that does all the heavy lifting. You could axe the windows and mirrors and line the whole thing with like a 10 foot think lead sheath. That'd work too.

Attached: Magnetosphere.png (1200x921, 359K)

That's not gravity, that's centripetal force simulating it's effect.

our magnetosphere does make a massive difference, but the atmosphere in itself is indeed opaque to a large part of the spectrum. there’s a reason X-ray and gamma ray telescopes only exist in orbit.

Hopefully post america when western society collapsed and the brown horde burns out, the last of the 3 digit IQ people can built a society interested in space travel instead of welfare.

What I want to know is when are we going to start building Battlestars and Titans starships.

Pic related, it's a Titan.

The magnetosphere doesn’t filter radiation, it deflects charged particles from solar wind and other cosmic sources that can damage the atmosphere and ecosystem. The atmosphere still handles most of the actual radiation filtering.

Hmm I’m pretty sure gravity is a simple property that is proportional to object mass?

Best titan in the whole damned game, too. Eats capital ships and space stations for breakfast, and can chew up most other titans with little issue, too.

Windows in a constantly spinning structure is a terrible idea unless you want to deal with disorientation and general sickness. Those things would be spinning way too fast to make that work.

O’Neill cylinders only rotate at barely 0.5 RPM.

>artificial gravity.
You just need to build the floor out of a dense enough material. Like from a neutron star or something. Easy!

Epic game, many hours spent building up interstellar armadas and then jumping my entire fleet from one system to another to prepare for enemy AI onslaught.

>magically generate a magnetosphere

Thats not magical nor unfeasible, if you have electricity, copper, and steel you have all the ingredients you need.
And if the colony has a big ol nuclear reactor on board, you can make a big ass magnetic field easily.

>cost [...] dollars
imagine being such a brainlet
if all the money in the world suddenly disappeared, no one would ever be able to create anything again anymore, right?
if all the money in the world would suddenly multiply itself a million times, we would technologically arrive in the year 5000, right?

Except that all the points of the sphere are going to point gravitationally towards the plane intersecting the sphere with the direction of its rotation. There cannot be artificial gravity in a rotating sphere, because at any point in time you can only rotate it around a single axis.

To make it clearer:

Picture a rotating sphere. At any given time the artificial gravity is going to point towards the fastest moving points, which are in a plane that passes through the axis in the middle of the sphere and contains the vector of centrifugal acceleration of said points. You could only live in the equator of the rotating sphere, anything else would be too steeper to walk on or basically vertical from your point of view. That's why all habitats designs have a cylindrical or conic shape: it maximizes the space perpendicular to the axis of rotation, which is where the centrifugal force (or artificial gravity) is concentrated.

Nope. As long as you have enough infrastructure in space already and have access to metallic asteroids, building these things is really easy.

You make a mold, and then use mirrors to concentrate sunlight & vaporize iron ore from a metallic asteroid. The Iron will crystalize along the walls of the mold.

So getting the basic functional shell is actually really easy. The hard part for those habitats is actually filling it with biomass & humans. Making a metallic shell is easy, making good soil is hard. Actual habitats are likely to look more like space stations/urban areas than like lush green rich worlds except for the ones where rich people live.

I'm pretty sure it's cheaper to figure out how to grow a lot of stuff in zero g aeroponics. Spin rings will be used for habitats and industry that requires constant acceleration.

It's literally supposed to be landscaped like a valley, often with a small canal/river at the equator.

Those are retarded. Utter waste of space and therefore hard to come by resources. Real space farms will look more like this.

That doesn't make it any less impossible.
A spherical habitat is physically impossible by centripetal force (rotation-generated gravity) alone. In fact it goes against anything we know about inertia.

its called an o'neill cylinder and they are cool user

Just make a spherical surface and spin it wtf is impossible about bit. You've never seen a ball spinning?

The walls of the cylinder or sphere are filled with large amounts of dirt (shipped in from the Moon, not from Earth) for radiation shielding.

The gravity is towards the equator FFS. It's perfectly possible to use land with slopes up to 45 degrees. The sloping land is more efficient than having a flat cap at the end.
