The necessity to go it alone will diminish rapidly, I think. A
groundswell of dissatisfied terrestrians will surely want to participate.
Wire mesh might not be bad, but how much is a 100' Hoberman sphere? -vs-
How much have the various agencies spent on publicity and phone bills
over the past 10 years (or even 3) ? Also I'm curious as to whether or
not building on the flat surface of a hemisphere is more efficient than
integrating living space etc. into the structure of the overall design
from scratch. A series of expanding frameworks could serve as anchors for
the plentiful tensioned fabric designs that exist. A critical size must
be achieved for self sufficiency to work.
