Rotating Space Habitat with Spherical Cabins

This topic will focus upon a very specific design for rotating habitats for deep space travel, or for planetary orbital habitats.

The defining characteristics of designs for this topic is the principle provide by GW Johnson on numerous occasions:


The best possible shape for a pressure vessel is a sphere.

This topic will hold a steady course, from this launch to a fully operational habitat in Earth LEO.

The basic structure for such a habitat is GW Johnson's baton concept.

Two sphere's rotating about a common center of gravity is the basic implementation for this topic.

The number of spheres can increase in single steps with no obvious limit, other than the limits imposed by resources of the builders.
