    Writing: Input Wanted Design of large rotating asteroid interior space

    True, but at high altitudes, you might be 2 or 3 miles from the 1g (or maybe 0.8g) surface, and the centripetal force that you lose when you are no longer being supported by a rotating curved surface at that altitude would be very small (say 0.05g) and so could be managed with minimal...

    Writing: Input Wanted Design of large rotating asteroid interior space

    Yes. Coriolis forces will be a major influence on the dynamics of the bodies of air and water inside of the large chambers. Intense cyclones are likely if there are not baffling surfaces to inhibit their formation. That's what I am trying to work out. For the lower altititudes, I am thinking...

    Writing: Input Wanted Design of large rotating asteroid interior space

    Hi. I'm working on a science fiction story about colonization of the solar system. Asteroid way stations are an important part of the story. I want to construct a realistic scenario about how we could convert the Eros asteroid into a shuttling habitat in it's current orbit (or something close...
