The O'Neill cylinder colony design appears frequently, largely unchanged from its original concept, such as in Policenauts. The main space station in the popular TV series, Babylon 5 , is similar to an O'Neill cylinder, but with internal lighting replacing the windows and mirrors.
O'Neill narrated it as a visitor to Earth from a space colony beyond Pluto. [62] The book explored the effects of technologies he called "drivers of change" on the coming century. Some technologies he described were space colonies, solar power satellites, anti-aging drugs, hydrogen-propelled cars, climate control, and underground magnetic ...
Another seminal book on the subject was the book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space by Gerard K. O'Neill [41] in 1977 which was followed the same year by Colonies in Space by T. A. Heppenheimer. [42]
An O'Neill cylinder (also called an O'Neill colony, or Island Three) is a space settlement concept proposed by American physicist Gerard K. O'Neill in his 1976 book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space. [1] O'Neill proposed the colonization of space for the 21st century, using materials extracted from the Moon and later from asteroids. [2]
The "Eight Easy Steps" proposed by Savage are as follows: Foundation – constitute an organization convened to realize these destinies. Aquarius – build arcologies in the tropical oceans as a first step to learning how to build ("grow" [1]) colonies in space using a method not unlike that used by living corals [2] developed by Prof. Wolf Hartmut Hilbertz and applying his concept of ...
The L5 News was the newsletter of the L5 Society reporting on space habitat development and related space issues. The L5 News was published from September 1975 until April 1987, when the merger with the National Space Institute was completed and the newly formed National Space Society began publication of its own magazine, Ad Astra.
Satellite images from outer space have been repetitively used as a means to identify and track penguin colonies in these vulnerable and remote areas of the Earth.
A Stanford torus interior (cutaway view) Interior view of a large scale O'Neill cylinder, showing alternating land and window stripes. A space settlement (also called a space habitat, spacestead, space city or space colony) is a settlement in outer space, sustaining more extensively habitation facilities in space than a general space station or spacecraft.
