Vulnerability of Space Settlements to Attacks

From: rmenich@... [mailto:rmenich@...]

If one has a sufficiently big wallet, then one can build a sufficiently
large habitat. I'm not sure how important the observation is that "many of
the people will want that" (lots of interior space). How much are they
willing to pay? --- now there's the rub. If there's a shortage of money,
then perhaps there will also be a shortage of internal space.

I hope you're right --- I'd rather see a spacious habitat than a cramped
one.

I think a consequence of the square-cube law will be that large volume
habitats will not be proportionately more expensive than smaller volume
habitats.

Regards,

Mike Combs
