- arethuza 1y agoI think those technologies are mentioned throughout the book - just at a much larger scale in the second part.
- daeken 1y agoBolos are used for spin gravity in the first part, but that's very different from the rotovators used in the second part. Both in concept and design. The key point with the rotovator is that the tip is moving at ~0m/s relative to the body it's orbiting when it's at its nadir, allowing you to just hop/grab on.
