Gundam Colonies

How the hell can you build a colony in space?

I'd love to live in Neo Mexico

I'd like to live on the top floor of that cactus.

That's a horrible idea for a colony. Not only are you wasting a massive amount of potential commercial and living space, but you are limiting that entire section to one floor.
In the harsh environment of space, you don't have the ability to splurge like that. Every nook and cranny must be used and failure to do that could result in inefficient resource management which will devastate the entire colony.

Of course I would, space is the way of the future! My soul is not weighed down by gravity. And I'd only come back down to Earth to laugh at you and your dirty way of life.

In theory, the colony would turn about its long axis and the resulting outward force would take the place of gravity. There's only one optimal radius, therefore one floor, that could experience this ideal gravity-like outward force.

Aren't all spacenoids genocidal terorists?

>>151590589
Probably wouldn't mind seeing the ground when I look up, but I'm sure I'd be bothered by the man made, souless and history less architecture and landscape. Like those cities that got destroyed during WW2 and got rebuilt in the 60s. Or those artificial town centers built in the 80s around malls. Absolutely disgusting.

>>151590589
Gundam Colonies actually are well suited for living and you shoudnt experience effects you mentioned - the ground appears flat for you due to their share size and geometry creating artificial horizon as well you cant really see the "other side" - when you look up you see blue skies.

Anon.. Gundam colony designs are actual proposed most viable big space station designs as it stands since they create artificial gravity via centripetal force. The only alternative to straight tube colonies are the ring tube colonies.

Also if you actually watche Gundam you` knew that below surface there are many technical floors with reduced gravity.

It's anime

anime ja nai.

So, I'm not very familiar with Gundam's universe, but did they ever colonize/terraform other planets?

Like, do any of them live on venus or mars and grow corn n' fight for independence? Gundam's world seems so confusing from an outsiders perspective.

>>151597822
Artificial habitats are the way to go. It's an order of magnitude thing, they are about ten to a hundred times cheaper than setting up a colony on the surface.
It's confusing because it's based on Clarke and engineering data instead of anime cliches. Apart from the mobile suits themselves, everything about that setting is spot on.

>>151597822
Mar's is the only planet colonized in some instances.
There are colonies in orbit around Mars, Venus and Jupiter in some universes.

>>151590589
If it's far away from those colony-dropping lunatics, sure.

>>151597822
Well Gundam isn't one universe, which is why it's some what confusing.

In most universes, the majority of humanity lives in O'neil type cylinder space stations, and the planets aren't colonized outside of a few bases.

The current Gundam series, IBO, does feature a fully colonized and terraformed Mars.

>implying this is not the logical solution to the aussie problem
Gundam was decades ahead of its time

But what about the Irish? What did they do?
