The simplest variant of my sphere/cylinder idea would be two spheres
and no external cylinder, just a tether or access tube. That would
basically be the barbell that someone previously mentioned. I guess
that would be an old-fashioned circus barbell!
What happened to the wheel-shaped space station, a la "2001: A Space
Odyssey"? Is it unstable? Would it tend to tumble? Would a disc
also be unstable and tumble?
