I don't understand, what is this?
looks like sand with projections on it
[QUOTE=NikoChekhov;44574949]I don't understand, what is this?[/QUOTE]
A sandbox, a projector, and topography. Whenever you change the surface of the sandbox, a 3D sensor/camera records topographic data into a height map. The height map is then run in a simulation and the top view of the simulation is projected onto the sandbox.
I found this pretty cool.

This is a concept for the O'Neill cylinder. Basically it's a sort of space city design, like a generation ship, that humans could live and reproduce inside during trips to far away stars. The entire thing would rotate to provide artificial gravity with centrifugal force. There are giant windows on the side so it would look like earth's sky would but with no atmosphere.
It's not very feasible but its a cool concept.
Elysium much?

So it wouldn't look like Earth's sky?
[QUOTE=kaine123;44575122]Elysium much?[/QUOTE]
Elysium had a slight problem where [I]it didn't have a fucking roof so anybody with a giant catapult could theoretically launch themselves directly into it[/I] because the plot falls apart if they have a roof.
A closer comparison would be the colonies from Gundam's UC timeline which are basically exactly that image. It's hard to get interior shots on account of them being dropped on Earth so much by space nazis who keep killing people who live in space in the name of the independence of people who live in space.

The idea though is that every colony is actually a collective of individual colonies that each house about five or so million people, these collectives being called Sides.
Getting that urge to play Startopia, now.

I always see these designs and they spin to create centrifugal force for gravity. But if you look at it, if that spun around, it wouldn't create dick for gravity unless the terrain was flipped 90 degrees, or the houses were on their sides and you stayed inside them. And even then, towards the middle there wouldn't be enough
No, that would work just like it's pictured. It spins, and the centrifugal force would pull occupants toward the outside, or the 'ground' that is the inside wall of the cylinder. If it spun faster you could get more than 1G, and slower would net you less than 1G, so that means you could tailor the artificial gravity to your own desires when making one.
If anyone likes spacey books that deal with that stuff, 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson is kind of a muck-through type of book, but has a decent bit of stuff like that in it... a city of Mercury that stays ahead of the sun by way of a equatorial track that pushes it along as the sun expands the rails, etc.. plus asteroids hollowed out and terraformed just like that picture has up there, which artificial sun and spun up for gravity. Cool stuff.

Come on man, don't post something like that without backstory or a source.

Have the two pictures of PSA Flight 182 before it crashed killing all onboard, seven on the ground, and the two inside the plane it collided with:

A hulk of wreckage from Air New Zealand Flight 191 on Mount Erebus, Antarctica, after the plane slammed into the mountain during a sightseeing flight killing all 257 on board. Among the dead was Peter Mulgrew, a New Zealander mountaineer that was acting as a guide in place of Sir Edmund Hillary, who was unable to attend.
The majority of the wreckage from the flight remains on Mount Erebus today.
As a personal request, would you guys mind posting more upbeat material for a lil while? All this death is bringing me down.
Here's some art from my favorite Deviant Artist, Artgerm
