It really brought the concepts to life and made them feel more relatable. I really appreciate how transparent this <a href="https://characterpasswordgenerator.mypixieset.com" rel="nofollow">random password generator</a> tool is about how it works. It's clear that a lot of thought and expertise went into creating it, and that gives me even more confidence in the passwords it generates.Whice Writahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826900907354237082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18052302.post-52541582111361395952014-11-04T10:28:39.018-05:002014-11-04T10:28:39.018-05:00Hey, thanks for posting this.

I'm one of the coauthors on the Kalpana One design, so it's great to get a shout-out.<br /><br />I'm also working on a realistic space settlement simulation game called High Frontier.

That is a lot of torque.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515637873755047834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18052302.post-20054559386565730052013-08-26T01:14:09.979-04:002013-08-26T01:14:09.979-04:00Maybe so, and I don't know how the form of soc...Maybe so, and I don't know how the form of society will be determined for orbiting communities. I suppose it will depend on their population and on who funds or "owns" them. I China-backed habitat may be different from one backed by the USA - or one backed by Google. But the early ones will also be frontier towns, with lots of work and mistakes to be made, some of the work dangerous, some "mundane" like farming and maintenance. I think these will require mixed populations of people with different skills and interests. Unless all the dirty work is done by robots, which seemed to be the case in Elysium (even police, at least on Earth).FlyingSingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015886527228889332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18052302.post-33693189206800405672013-08-25T22:03:21.753-04:002013-08-25T22:03:21.753-04:00Ironically, I think the movie Elysium is right.

The first artificial gravity colonies will probably only be affordable for the wealthy. <br /><br />But that's historically true of practically every new technology from automobiles, telephones, to television. <br /><br />And that's certainly currently true when it comes to space tourism. <br /><br />But, eventually, these technologies become cheap enough to be available to the average Jane and Joe. <br /><br />Marcel F.
