Of the two of these I inspected so far (the Parrish, Florida powerplant[0] and the Holdingford, Minnesota trailer manufacturer[1]) they both seem to be located way out in the boonies with only a low double-digit amount of either residential

The thin aluminum pressure compartments are the biggest issue I'd imagine; they can only handle so many heat/cool cycles orbiting the earth before the material fatigues and fails. You'd have to replace them all if you want th

I would also add those barriers seem to depend on the ship staying intact during collision. Given the immense inertia involved on the bigger ships I could just as easily see a scenario where the barrier ends up ripping through the lower hul

I disagree, the physics of large planes make extreme movements on the plane's z-axis like this via just it's control surfaces near impossible. All the control surfaces can really do is tilt the plane, which in absolute terms will

It's surprising how often people advocate for interfaces that require more muscle movement to do the same thing. I regularly use a pen display for drawing, and even with a tool that is more precise than finger touch input and optimized
