A while ago I mentioned in one of my posts a space settlement designed by Eric Yam. googletechtalks on YouTube included the post in the details portion of the page the video was on, so I thought I’d return the courtesy and mention them right back. Have a look at the video.
And all over Canada is the media proudly showing off their latest bright up and comer, Eric Yam, from Nothern Secondary School in Toronto, Ontario.
Voila, a 92 page PDF file of ASTEN, the intergalactic settlement designed by Eric Yam. Going into quite a large amount of detail that I won’t get into in this post, it is definitely worth the read. Using the technologies that are currently available to us as both tried & tested and experimental, he shows the ways that this kind of settlement could work quite efficiently. Approximate time for building this settlement : 30 years. Approximate cost : $500 million USD+.
Can't push through the story, even if it's a great plot?...Set it aside and rewrite from another point of view. You'll be surprised.02:38:48 AM February 21, 2012from web
