space habitats

I would also like to add my primary fear in the movement into space and mankind's rebirth there is we have too many apathetic people who don't care and see no reason to move into space. My Attitude is to leave them behind to their fates but they will wish not to allow us to leave so they can leach off us. My second worry is a large chunk of government who believes when it comes to society One Size fits all and want to keep our dysfunctional world the norm even though our families are falling apart along with western civilization. They will not wish anyone to change from their failed ways simply because that would show they have failed and do not care for rejection. Problem is their time has come and it has gone and nobody should be obligated to go down with them.

When we move into space there will no doubt be some desire to keep our colonies small, that is some may wish to keep the small Island Two whether it be the Crystal Palace, Bernal Sphere or Sunflower whose population is the hundred forty to hundred fifty thousand people rather than advance to the Island Three O'Neill Cylinders with their one to two million population or Island Four O'Neills with their ten to twenty million with the desire to keep things small and local where possible.
