Jeff,
VERY elegant use of space, with true three-dimensional thinking. This
looks like it could be the answer to one of those problems professors used
to throw out in architecture school. I'm also impressed with provisions for
the crewperson's continued physical and emotional wellness: the flywheels
and ability to exercise, the window to provide a visual link to the real
world, and the bio-refiltering to conserve resources while at the same time
providing for crew nutritional needs.
I agree with Kevin that this observation post "demonstrates what life
in space really would be like: cramped, lonely, and disorienting!" given
what I've seen of real-world spacecraft like Apollo, the shuttle fleet, Mir,
and the ISS. Yet I have to hold out hope that one day there will be
"vaccuum planners", architects/engineers who will work to make space life
comfortable for humanity. While I think we're a long way from artificial
gravity and Enterprise-D luxury, I do believe it to be possible to provide
comfortable living design for outer-space pioneers.
Your three-dimensional use of unorthodox planning space by making the
ceiling a bedroom area (and safety hatch cover) is perhaps a nod in that
direction. I'm very impressed, and hope to see more.
Peace and Long Life,
Tony Alexander

| Oh wow - it's already the featured MOC in .space. So that's why my Brickshelf folder was getting so many hits... This MOC was inspired by the recent thread about relativistic rocks. There isn't much to it, so I thought I'd provide a backstory using (...) (21 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)
