lakes & ponds in a space colony

One of the cool things you can do with waterways in a settlement and ones that go completely around and join themselves, meaning you can swim or boat indefinitely in one direction. Should have interesting implications for races.

The space colony shown in the video is a small one (150 m radius), but

still has room for some decent-sized bodies of water. I think seeing a

lake curve up the wall is quite interesting.
(Al: the opening bit defining a space colony by its park-like

environment was not a jibe; I recognize that real colonies may be much

more like a dense European city than, say, Kansas. I just needed some

way to introduce the topic!)
