Save costs by building on asteroids One of the biggest hurdles to building an O'Neill cylinder is the enormous cost. Shipping materials and labor from Earth to space would be extremely expensive. A partial solution is to build a city on an asteroid. The idea for computing for such a project was born during the pandemic by a group of US scientists. According to the researchers, savings can be achieved by using rocky bodies already on the asteroid. Adam Frank, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester in the United States, emphasized.

All these flying mountains orbiting the sun on some asteroids could provide a faster, cheaper moible number data and more efficient way to build space cities. Their variety and the presence of rocks that can withstand cosmic radiation make this asteroid city even more attractive. The problem Asteroids are too loose, too slow Adam Frank is proud of his work:  and fiction. We took an idea that has been very popular in pop culture recently and came up with a new way to build a space city out of an asteroid.



After doing the calculations, however, the team discovered a problem: asteroids break up long before they reach the speed needed to keep people on the surface. Also, most asteroids are not rocks, but loose piles of rock. The solution to the problem is carbon bags. Creativity Another key skill to look for in job candidates is creativity. We're looking for people who think differently, who can look at the problem without being dogmatic.
