Breeze (1961) -1 person: 50ft3 (1.42m3) , 1-2 days: 260ft3 (7.36m3) , 1-2 months: 600ft3 (17m3) , 2-< months

NASA Brief

NASA: Habitability, the physical environment - http://history.nasa.gov/SP-483/ch3-2.htm

Fraser (1968a) -1 person: 50ft3 (1.42m3) , brief confinement: 150ft3 (4.25m3) , 60 day confinement

However, likely general equation is: less space per person is needed as crew size increases.

Number of crew size, an important variable3 men crews suffer greater stress with approx 70ft3(1.98m3) than did 2 men crew

Davenport, Longdon & Pierce (1963) - the more space per individual is neededas the number of individuals increases.

DYNAMIC FORCES IN L5

vacuum: thinner than any vacuum found on earth

Plasma: sun pours streams of energy

cosmic storms: mixture of particles and cosmic energies is called Plasma.

debris: there are swarms of meteors and solid frag-ments of space travelling debris

Growth of L5 Space City

Life in the 22nd Century : Information Age - information technology revolution - global information super highways -decentralizing and diffusing the power of information, delivering the promise of multimedia,enhancing the joy of interactive communication -electronic communication networks will constitute the backbone of our lives

Manuel Castells - End of Millenium

Life in the 22nd Century : Science Technology -full flowering of the Genetic Revolution -for the first time, our species will penetrate the secrets of life -would be able to perform substantial manipulation of living matter -the Genetic Revolution may heal, fight pollution, improve life, save time and effort from survival, so as to give the chance to explore largely unknown frontiers of spirituallity Manuel Castells - End of Millenium

Life in the 22nd Century : Production - a rise of extraordinary productive systems by historical standards - human labor will produce more and better with considerably less effort -mental work will replace physical effort in the most productive sectors of the economyManuel Castells - End of Millenium Manuel Castells - End of Millenium

Construction: ...many of us will work in the construction indus-try, with no gravity at all. Those who can adapt to rapid change qualify for higher paying jobs. The trial period also gives people a chance to decide that “this is not for me.” Gerald O’ Neill

Adaptation

Education: We need a responsible educated society! - to prevent the evil effects of biological revolution - responsible governments - to avoid the same mistakes of the 20th century where using technology and industrialization to massacre each other in atrocious wars.

Manuel Castells - End of Millenium

Unlike Urban Architecture, buildings in orbit have no spatial limitations, but instead, labour and resource limits.

When the time/situation comes, when it has to morph to resolve, it turns into something that doesn’t become a brachloloria anymore.
