In this episode of Entropy Rising, Jacob and Lucas dive deep into the fascinating concept of O’Neill Cylinders, exploring how these massive orbital habitats could revolutionize life beyond Earth. They discuss the challenges of constructing these spinning cities in space, from shielding against micrometeoroids and radiation to leveraging asteroids as natural defenses.

The conversation expands to envisioning how O’Neill Cylinders could support entire ecosystems, foster independent orbital economies, and serve as the backbone for humanity’s expansion into the stars. They also tackle thought-provoking questions about governance, trade, and potential conflicts in a future where space habitats outnumber planetary populations.

If you’ve ever wondered what life might be like in a spinning city among the stars—or why humanity might one day choose to live in space rather than on planets—this episode is for you!
