Space Station - Have you ever wondered about overpopulation? Well wonder no more, in the future your vacation to Aunt Jean's house may be far away in the skies. Nanostructured materials will be 50 to 100 times lighter and stronger than current areospace materials, permiting space ships the size of a family mini van to reach orbit, allowing you to visit relatives living in space colonies. Ring structures in the space colonies would rotate simulating earth type gravity. To watch the movie click here (.mov 5,775kb). Click here for the avi (5.88mb).
