Example layout for an Island One-type Bernal sphere. In a series of studies held at Stanford University in 1975 and 1976 with the purpose of speculating on designs for future space colonies, Dr. Gerard K. O'Neill proposed Island One, a modified Bernal sphere with a diameter of only 500 m (1,600 ft) rotating at 1.9 RPM to produce a full Earth artificial gravity at the sphere's equator.
F1 trailer starring Brad Pitt Even before the game officially kicked off, adrenaline was at an all-time high with a trailer for F1, Warner Bros. and Apple’s upcoming movie starring Brad Pitt.
In The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space O'Neill described solar power satellites that provide unlimited clean energy, making it far easier for humanity to reach and exceed present developed-world living standards. Overpopulation pressures would be relieved as billions of people eventually emigrate to colonies in free space.
