I wonder how long it takes to jog or bike the circumference?

MisterMadge,

@moorejh
Looking at the house plots (which are about 150 ft wide), they incline about 15 degrees in the span of 10 houses. This gives a radius of 5730 ft (1.09 mi).

That means the circumference is 36k ft (6.8 miles), which you could bike comfortably in less than an hour (especially since there are no hills).

However to get 1 g (32 ft/s²), the station would have to rotate at 0.71 rpm, so you'd see <40 sunrises and sunsets on your circumnavigation.

@MisterMadge @moorejh @nyrath The Stanford torus design had the torus spin with the Sun in the plane of the torus and sunlight reflected in by mirrors, providing constant illumination.

Which is rather the reverse problem.

What about the endless terms and conditions, the unlawful data-mining, the international tax fraud! 🤔
I demand more realism in my SciFi writing! 😂

Neidfyre,

@whknott
He was 47, she was 19. He didn't have money, wasn't famous or powerful, and certainly didn't know any of her generation’s songs, so as per Occam's Razor, the simplest explanation is preferable to one that is more complex. She was a spy; he could read it all over her. She’d been sent to allure him and get access to his archeological research – lots of money in the antiquities he discovered. Treachery, seduction and deceit never go out of style, but their practitioners often die young.

Chainsaweddie,

Sane folk used hardware or an interface, her mind was faster hardwired, yup, raw-dogging an unknown mainframe; risky. From her uplink she could hear the coms. Right up until she didn't. Last thing was "Grab her, go!" The uplink broke, oh shit! Soaring vacuously as electrons she held a visualization, sanity.

@glukozavr @bookstadon Well thank you for the opportunity to share the book blurb in my online shop ☺️
“Sophie McKeand’s epic, experimental, sci-fi storytelling adventure, The MthR Trilogy, is an exploration of humanity’s greatest ambitions, as well as the psychological shadows that continue to plague the most focussed political minds…This trilogy of interwoven stories told from a panoply of coalescing and conflicting standpoints, explores notions of shifting power, loyalty, language, and love as people navigate personal and professional relationships in this singular slice of time.”
