Thanks for the insights. For this to work, the walking and moving experience will need to be as normal as possible, like walking through a long shopping mall in SL that is joined in a loop. In the real Star City that could be built, about a two thirds of the way in would be an inner level with a Mars gravity environment, where space-farers could prepare for activities at Mars, or simply visit the Mars environment without having to travel to Mars. What the actual gravity level is doesn't matter in SL, but it will be important in the real space world. In the centre of the real Star City there could be a zero gravity swimming pool and this could also be simulated in the SL model. Because a full working model of what will be humanities first permanent home beyond Earth, if Earth-gravity is deemed essential for health reasons and maintaining Earth-gravity fitness, I will keep searching for ways to make it happen. It may already be possible now, somewhere. I hope this somewhere will be SL. If anyone is interested in the project, IM me in SL and I'll give you an island Earth flier. This is part of seeking a safe Earth, which includes the building of solar power stations in space to access the unlimited energy well of our star in space for Earth health and space development. Celest, Stjarna

Is there a gravity environment in Second Life that would allow a torus space station to be built. Down would be from a line with the gravity radiating away from the line in all 360 degrees. it would be like walking around on the inside of a wheel. In the real world in space a torus space station would be able to generate an Earth gravity by rotating. The second life environment would provide an opportunity to build a full-size model of such a space station, which could operate like the real thing in space. If this is not possible at present, how soon may it be. Such a gravity environment could be in a large box located high in the sky, which avatars could teleport to. Stjarna Szondi island Earth
