Vulnerability of Space Settlements to Attacks

"I don't think having multiple modules is something people would really
want to live in for the rest of their lives."

I would say that that would depend on the size of the modules. I was
reading a space book last night that claimed that people in very large
indoor areas (e.g., large domed stadia, old dirigible hangers such as the
ones at Ames, large hotel atria) do not really feel that they are
"inside".

Also, there is a cultural component. People from, say, Tokyo and Shanghai
have a different sense of acceptable living space per person than I do (I
live on a big piece of property and drive my car everywhere --- I AM
sprawl!). I've been to Tokyo a half dozen times, and believe me, the
living density is quite high.
