Space habitats

A recent concept proposal to NASA has suggested that the tensegrity structures we discussed for use on Titan could also be used to build a space habitat near the Moon, albeit on a far larger scale. The lightweight structure would use water gleaned from space-based materials as a means to provide shielding for its inhabitants. Known as Growth-Adapted Tensegrity Structures, these could be an excellent way to build large-scale habitats in space.
