Nice image and pose, super outfit, Excellent work, well done!!
Excellent image and pose. Princeton physicist Gerard K. O'Neill envisioned very large space colonies in the form of immense rotating aluminum cylinders, the inner wall of which would be inhabited. These structures would be built of material mined from the Moon. The O'Neill colony is a structure 32 km long and 3.2 km in radius, and capable of permanently supporting hundreds of thousands or even millions of inhabitants. Normal Earth gravity would be achieved by rotating the colony at a rate of one revolution per 114 seconds. The interior of the cylinder would have three inhabited "valleys" each containing lakes, forests, towns, and so forth. Three large mirrors, capable of being opened and closed on a regular day/night basis, would shine sunlight into the valleys, and a large parabolic collector at one end of the cylinder would focus solar energy onto steam-driven generators to provide the colony's electricity needs. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder for more information and artistic renderings of O'Neill's colonies.
