Ok, if we consider a 50 m shell, we get 65,449 cubic meters for a total
volume, and for the inside volume of the inner shell, we get 44,602 cubic meters. Getting it up in one shot is a good goal. But I'm trying to maximize leasable volume, too. A 100 meter sphere give 523,598 cubic meters of internal volume, and 434,892 cubic meters inside the inner shell. I still think the inner and outer shell concept is important for puncture repair, and sheilding augmentation, and general ease of construction. The costs are going to be such to develop any sizable facility that we probably are going to need about 50 tenants, besides the resort/hotel with about 25 guests per week, (eventually), a large "movie set", a repair/maintenance /workshack area for contract projects such as a Mars trip, other larger facilities and so on. I don't think a 50 meter sphere is going to be big enough. to bring in enough income. |
