(I think it's Ringworld too, though THE RING IS NOT BIG ENOUGH. :p)

It's a ringworld, I don't think it's THE Ringworld; just an image I picked up from Image Search. Fanart, I think (I don't recognize the name.)

Fucking hell, I'm old.

No, this is not fanart. It's an artist's conception from the 70s or 80s (I first saw it in MULTIPLE books in the early 80s) of a space habitat, which is NOT a ringwold - it's a ring that spins around an artificial hub to create false gravity, and meant to be in orbit around the earth.

DA

Yes. I remember seeing it in some textbook or something when I was a kid. I remember being fascinated by the idea.

Yeah, me, too. And the similar conceptualizations of undersea habitats.

Huh. I'd forgotten that until now, but yes, same here.

I remember this too... I kept looking at the pic and going WHERE THE FUCK DO I KNOW THAT FROM.

I'm just glad to know I wasn't imagining it.

Yeah, not nearly big enough, and also doesn't seem to have the right shape for The Ringworld. That was open inwards towards the sun, didn't have any spokes, and used those floating panels to make night/day.
