I'd just talk about space habs and cylinders desu

>>10630635
both have nigh insurmountable challenges to overcome

I applaud the fact that SpaceX and BO are both working on different long-term goals, having a start in both Mars colonization and artificial space habs is a great thing, the sooner the better

I wonder which will be easier in the end? Fuck this is so exciting

Where is the link to the Blue Origin full stream?

I guess besides Mars and Moon there isn't really an interesting project for colonisation. In the inner solar system there is only Venus which you may be could colonize, but this is really hard. In the outer solar system you could maybe colonize some Jupiter moons, that's all. I guess after mars, we will explore the whole solar system, but won't really colonize it. The the next step would either be to build something like an O'Neill cylinder or to look beyond our solar system. But I guess this will not happen for a long time. Such project are extremely expensive and the standard of living isn't so high as on earth. I guess two planets will suffice for a time.

Hi /sci/

Physics is not my strong suit. Suppose we had a cylindrical rotating space habitat, in the vein of O'Neill and McKendree cylinders (see pic). It rotates to produce 1g (9.8m/s) so the humans living on the interior grow up nice and strong.

If one were to take a vehicle or EVA suit and fly out and land on the surface of the exterior of the cylinder, what effect would the spinning produce? Would our brave/foolish hypothetical hero be throw off into space without some tether? What (if anything) would be needed to walk/drive on the exterior?
