In “Where’s My Orbital Habitat?,” researcher Harry Law revisits NASA’s Space Settlements: A Design Study (1977), the Gerard K. O’Neill-led vision of orbital civilization. Rick Guidice’s paintings depict massive rotating habitats—spheres, cylinders, rings—their interiors lined with farmland curving upward. But as Law argues, the study became an expendable pawn: “NASA’s history is a negotiation between the need to dream big enough to ignite the public imagination and the need to appear credible, disciplined, and worthy of American tax dollars.”
