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.
