There might be connections between "Islands of the space" and "Flat Earth" theory

Kimmo Huosionmaa

We all know that the Earth is a ball, but there is one thing, what might interest the persons, who are discussed about this kind of things. In the 1980's were plans to send the man to the Mars and for that purpose, NASA planned to send to that trip the spacecraft, there was actually two manned modules at the end of the cable. In the middle of the cable is the nuclear reactor or solar panels, what gives the electric power for that spacecraft, in the distant travel in our solar system.


Because of this structure, the spacecraft would rotate around the central point of the cable, and this would be possible to make artificial gravity for that space trip. Use of two different capsules makes the flight safer because, in the case of a leak, the crew can move to the other capsule.  In this spacecraft would house, and gardens inside those modules, what allows to produce the things like vegetables and cotton in the spacecraft. The last one would be needed for making clothes and other textiles.


The thing is, that this spacecraft would seem like "flat Earth" inside those capsules. The reason, why there is planned those gardens and other things is, that the crew would feel more comfortable if they could live in the space, what feels like Earth. The need for artificial gravity is necessary because the astronaut's muscle would be lost their strength in the zero-gravity space condition.


If we think about the flat-earth society, that could be originally covert-term, what was meant for the personnel, who work with this kind of projects. And this means that NASA was seriously investigated the opportunity to build this kind of spacecraft. There were also plans for making the wheel-shaped space station, by using Mylar structure, what looked like a swim ring. When the space station would be sent to the space that structure would be blown full of the air. The ring would be empty until this thing has been sending to the orbital trajectory, and then the structure would be blown to the shape. In the center of this thing would be docking structures and airlocks.
