Or use the hollowed out shell as either a space station or colony ship.

True, they’re already in space so weight isn’t an issue. Thick enough bulkheads will solve a lot of the radiation problems.

“””Or use the hollowed out shell as either a space station or colony ship”””

{[He whines]}”but that will cost money that would be better seized by uncle gov’t to pay for my welfare check” {[Whine off]}

Seriously, that makes sense, but will never happen through the auspices of gov’t, at least not so long as “We. the People” think the purpose of gov’t is to take from those who have more, and give to “me”.

We get exactly the government we want, whether or not it is the government we should have.. Thats why the founding fathers said that in order for any system of self government to survive, the electorate must be moral AND educated. Pity that we are no longer neither.

Yeah, but how long until the people in it forget it's a ship. Then troublemakers will be saying, "...for the world is hollow, and I can touch the sky."
