Yeah, I don't think we'll be seeing the skyline of Manhatten in
orbit anytime soon, however, I do think that there will certainly be
multi-story buildings considering the scarcity of ground area
compared to vertical space. It'll make sense to build upwards and
conserve ground space. A single story home doesn't amount to too
much mass/cm^2 but how about multi-story buildings?
Besides, will the human habition mass be distributed evenly or will
there be clusters of different mass densities throughout the
Habitat? If so, how will this mass loading be distributed according
to pressure vessel design theory?
