Now, I decided I don't want to have a whole page just full of old men staring at people, so here goes: I looked back at the space station. What could I do? I restarted, following the same design, of course. I think I had some influence over a WIP thread on an engine thing about a year ago on BA.

...and then, adding more greeblies, and adding the ball bearings for the flywheel (a flywheel is very good in space, very good for storing and extracting energy.) Solar panels, and those cool jutting space docks.

...adding on some detail, antennae in the middle and heat vents...

Then, in order to simulate gravity, this thing will have to be rotating. But because it's a movie, why not make it cool and have two levels, both having alternate rotations? So that's what I did, adding a sort of turbine design below...

...and the back, for those who can't see it that well (AO is on, there is no lamp sorry)
