A picture is worth a 1000 words,.........which is just as well because there are a number of pictures, and I don't speak a word of Spanish!

    • one story i read had ships with no hull or walls, they were held together with force shields. another had organic ships, bioenginered and alive, they looked like starfish.

    • looks like a cool concept... but do we really have to keep sticking with the cylindrical design?

      Sure for lift-off, it's important, but seriously, let's come up with something, oh I dunno, less boring... we can build stuff in space, so let's do cooler designs! Like cube ships! :P

      You can throw anything into space if you have the energy. Yes cylinders are efficient to push up into space. But if we build it in space, the shape become redundant, especially if we dont want to land it.

      You can turn an asteroid into a ship, but lets be truthfully, Photoshop a pebble into a starscape, it looks kinda boring.

      The nice thing about the chosen pic is that it is doable today. Everything is within current understanding. Even the spin habitat would make a trip humane for the crew.
