Next Space Station

[Atlan0001]

I just watched a video on the next space station (the possibilities)!

It needs to be big, have artificial gravity, cost a trillion dollars altogether and make five trillion dollars and more over time! It needs to be the first of far too many to count, growing in a growing energy of them, in the solar system!

In my uninformed opinion a space structure can not be built that can take human occupation for more than 10 yrs. or so. No matter how sophisticated the environmental system. We shed and excrete. Human grime. Much more than just dead skin cells. Each one of us sheds an environment.

Therefore I think our next space station should be fabric. With change outs planned in future years. Sequential replacement of the station itself. So the next station can be permanent. And modifiable for the future. Or perhaps a station with generational concentric rings. Disposing the inner ones.

Space bubble tube fabric technology. Compact, light, expandable…. And disposable.

Just a thought.

A rock, a club, a sharpened stick, fire, cracked rocks, and a fabric bag to carry fire cracked rocks in.

Fabric was the first true invention. The first manufactured tool. A container.
