• Central Cylinder: Imagine a straight, horizontal cylinder. This is the main body of the shape. • Truncated Cones: At each end of the cylinder, picture a cone that has been cut off (truncated) at its narrow end. These truncated cones flare outwards, increasing in diameter as they move away from the central cylinder. • Rings: Just before each truncated cone begins, there's a thick, circular ring encircling the cylinder. These rings are significantly wider than the cylinder itself and have a distinct thickness. • Inner Rods/Cage: Inside the central cylinder, visualize a series of thin, straight rods running parallel to the cylinder's length. These rods are evenly spaced around the interior, creating a cage-like structure. • Spin-Up Mechanism: Thrusters or reaction control systems (RCS) positioned tangentially on the city’s perimeter would fire to initiate rotation. Once spinning, minimal energy is needed to maintain it in the frictionless vacuum of space.

Overall Shape: Cylindrical Core: The shape's primary form is a central, elongated cylinder lying horizontally. End Caps: The cylinder is capped on both ends by truncated cone-like structures, widening outward. Outer Rings: Two thick, ring-like structures encircle the central cylinder at its ends, just before the truncated cone caps. Inner Cage: Inside the central cylinder, a series of thin, parallel rods run longitudinally, forming a cage-like structure.

• Centrifugal Force: The space city would be designed as a rotating structure (e.g., a wheel, cylinder, or ring). Rotation generates centrifugal force, mimicking gravity. For example, a 1g environment could be achieved with a radius of ~900 meters rotating at ~2 RPM (to avoid motion sickness).spaceport shapes like this A central hub with radial spokes connecting to a rotating ring or hexagonal/octagonal structure.
