I LOVE this design for a space station ever since I saw it in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was SO disappointed when the ISS didn't follow this design. I mean how cool would *that* be?
@ James: I think SF definitely drew me into the science mindset. After reading SF I often looked for science books to expand on themes of the various books I'd been reading - from future tech to space travel, physics and chemistry. I do love me some HARD SF.
@ Judy: Yes, I noticed that this is one of your rare non-book post comments! It's a beautiful sight (enhanced in the short video I posted later). I really hope that they build something like this at some point. That'd just be awesome!

ReplyDeleteI appreciate it when the science fiction is based in recognizable science, even when imagined. That being said, some science fiction is just hard.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually comment on these posts of yours (I'm sure you have noticed that) but I loved the image.
