Look how topical we are!

With the snowball Earth ice age we are developing for Night Song I like the idea of select remaining feral humans on earth being sought by the last of the failing O'Neil colonies in their venture to convert an asteroid into a generation ship. Over the span we are speaking of I think the O'Neal evolved people would provide weak stock for a generation ship. They will want a vital infusion.
See Ben Bova's "Grand Tour" novels concerning the use of such orbital habitats around the gas giants. One is titled either Triton or Titan.
James, that is like the ousters in Hyperion.
I thought there were cooling issues with the original O'Neil design. I remember reading about them when I was in elementary school.
Speaking of space colonization. I've begun to wonder mightily if Elon Musk of SpaceX is not a Jеw. He seems driven to colonize Mars. They say he's not a Jеw but he is sort of Jеwy behaving. I wonder if he doesn't want to fly the Jеws off before the eternally suffering Gentiles get so fed up with the Jеws we lock them behind their walls in Isrаel. I mean they've already build miles of walls to keep the Palestinians out we could just complete them and keep the Jеws in.
