You offered a lot of great points. It is hard to get a functional cylinder

great for octagons, too.

Check out my post just before this thread got started. I use both ideas (but
no octagons).

To skip a step for anyone reading this, he's referring to the space

Is that space station supposed to spin around, creating artificial
gravity?  I had always assumed that its "down" was the pointy part at
the bottom of the image.
