VERY NICE!! I downloaded each pic so that I can examine each one in fine
detail. I really liked all the detail and the way you worked out the
confined space so well.
One question to the general public: Why do we never see excercise rooms?
Certainly these would be essential for extended deep space mission with
microgravity conditions. Or does this ship continue to accelerate until it
hits a "halfway" point, turn end over end 180 degrees to point the engines
in the direction of motion, and then fire the engines to decellerate the
ship, thereby providing a modest amount of gravity for most of the trip. I
believe this was done in Arthur C. Clark's 2063 (3rd installment out of 4 in
the space oddessy series).
I just think that these 50s-style rocket ships are a perfect example of this
type of an application. Thoughts?
