Ecologies of Rotating Habitats: Basic Design Considerations and Modeling Possibilities

Hello, and welcome to a bizarre post for Beyond NERVA, which involves no nuclear reactions at all! I’m deep in the bowels of the next blog post on Topaz International Program, which has split into two (for long-following fans of the blog, this isn’t weird), and has taken me down many different research paths that […]
