      From: joe@strout.net              I'm trying my hand at making some 3D models of classic space habitat       designs. My first effort can be seen here:               http://www.strout.net/info/science/settlements/renderings.html              This is based on a NASA painting from the '70s (linked from the page       above). But one thing puzzles me about the original painting: where are       the radiators? Would a habitat of this size need to have substantial       radiators to get rid of excess heat?              (I'm assuming those purple things spread between the spokes within the       mirror ring are solar panels.)              Thanks,       - Joe              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
