aboard the enterprise;somthig like this would become the agriculture/life supporting center of the deep space traveling ship. with baseball/recreation parks large enough to provide air/clean air plus grow food suplies.yet for scientist;the question remains unanswered.as to anti gravity being man made via earth like flooring and soil rock and earth bioshere layering in proper manner.i see in theory.&foward viewing.this might work out wellfor any star ship we create.yet non tested in n;a;s;a's vacume chamber of which duplicates simular gravity senarios.the transparent steel/alluminum become it's windows and skin.dinosour kids toy tough!.in an war battle field zone this skin may save the crew/passengaers lives.while the window seat allows for a pleasant view of new planetary stars+saturn and jupiter.on your way out charting mapping as you go via sophisticated computar androidic life form size com link.(computars).

  1. Like Suitti said, what you're talking about is like the Biosphere 2 experiment, which was a failure because it didn't make enough oxygen.  It wasn't very applicable to the moon anyway because it was just a greenhouse and a lunar base would obviously need artificial lighting.  It sounds to me like you are suggesting that biosphere 3 be built in a big centrifuge to see how centrifugal force will affect everything.  Go ahead!


  2. Golly, you just took the words right out of my mouth!

  3. We've not discovered direct (anti-)gravity field generation. There's good reason to believe it can't be done. But a spinning ship can provide gravity.

    Biosphere 2 was essentially a failure.  We'll need to learn from errors made there and get it right before we build something in space.  In interstellar space, there won't be a star, so light for vegetables must be artificial.

    Shielding from cosmic rays and other nasty radiation is an unsolved problem.

    A long term power source will be needed.  Perhaps current nuclear power.  Fusion power would be better. We're 20 years from making this happen - and holding. It's a hard problem. Perhaps fusion could power a particle accelerator for propulsion. Reaction mass will be a problem.  Perhaps a workable Bussard ramjet.  This uses interstellar medium for reaction mass.  There isn't much there in the vacuum, but at least you don't have to bring it with you.

    It's possible that arming such a ship is not needed.  It'll have a kick butt particle accelerator after all...

    If the goal is interstellar colonization, perhaps sending a small robotic ship with the capability to synthesize life is all we need.  Bacteria could be designed on site to terraform likely planets.  Higher life forms could be introduced when the infrastructure is in place.  Eventually humans could be introduced, initially instructed by robots.  The latest genetic templates could be beamed from Earth and adapted for the local environment. The infection of the Universe begins in less than one hundred thousand years.

    I didn't see a real question here.  So i treated it as "blah, blah, blah - discuss".

  4. This is very creative and very nearly indecipherable.  And if its a question I can't figure out what it is.
