I found a fun number crunch for this idea.
The moon is 14.6 square miles surface area. Or 406 trillion square feet. If we were to have a craft expand to 10 layers at 20x50 ft we get 10,000 square feet a craft
406 trillion/10000 = 40.6 billion crafts orbitting to equal the surface of the moon
If the craft could expand to 10 layers of 100x100 feet that is 1 million square feet
406 trillion/ 1 million = 406 million orbitting crafts to equal the surface of the moon.
In my drawings of what ifs I have many crafts connecting together to utilize natural rotation as artificial gravity such as 100 crafts could form one OFFA “orbiting farm for all”
