Description: Artist's impression of the exterior view of a Bernal sphere space habitat design. Description from NASA: "The residential area is in the central sphere. Farming regions are in the "tires". Mirrors reflect sunlight into the habitat and farms. The large flat panels radiate away extra heat into space, and panels of solar cells provide electricity. Factories and docks for spaceships are at either end of the long central tube." NASA ID number AC76-0965. External link: "Space oddity: NASA's retro guide to future living" at CNN.
