In space you don't even need a full cylinder, you can spin several habitats on a tether.

- yellowapple 4y agoTechnically you could do that on the Moon, too. Kinda like one of those carnival rides with the seats on chains and a tower spinning everyone around. In fact, maybe we should just cut to the chase and build amusement parks on the Moon. You know, for "physical and mental health" or something.
- eterevsky 4y agoOh, I know, it will be called Luna Park.
