That was amazing and beautiful. I damn near cried. It would be criminal if humanity gave up on space flight before such things were created.
My first reaction was remembrance of different background music. I’m afraid I was horribly corrupted as a movie going 12 y/o child…
Agreed!
I would make sticks which have ball of water in the middle.
Wonderfully done, but the design has far too many windows. It would be hard to get comfortable there with lighting changing so rapidly. Kubrick’s station was more pedestrian, but more human.
On top of that, why is he still using old-school flickery fluorescents for emergency lighting? Neither incandescents nor LED lights do that.
Yeah I noticed that too. He could have brought them up in iridescent colors red to white. But hey, chalk it up to artistic license.
I think dining in a room with a huge perspective like that constantly in motion would present problems with digestion. I was going to post a photo of Mr. Creosote. But you can thank me now for the was that wasn’t.
Going out as far as he depicts to the outer gas giants is going to need artificial lighting to keep those plants and gardens healthy.
The magnetosphere of Jupiter presents its own problems. But I noticed he didn’t appear to get too close.
When I was a child, in the 60’s, I thought I might get to walk on the moon as a visitor. (Didn’t know what the word “tourist” meant back then. Now…sigh… That was an awesome vid!!!
I wonder, during the dark spells between the planets, might some people go “mad” by gazing deep into the stars, realizing just how tiny we are compared to the universe???
An impressive bit of CGI video, but the ship is also obviously the work of a cinematic production designer and not an engineer. The axial portion is so spindly that putting it under thrust would be like trying to push a piece of cooked linguini. The rotating portion has no evident GCR shielding and also doesn’t seem to have any compartmentalization to limit atmosphere loss in the event of mishap.

You’re perhaps thinking of Nightfall?
