    Every time you show a module exploding, I would suggest a graphic overlay showing the pressure compared to normal breathable 1 atmosphere. eg, "6.0x ... 7.0x ... 12.0x ... burst!" just to give an obvious visual indicator of how very strong they are compared to normal use

    This technology is going to be useful wherever human spaceflight takes us. Great job.

    Inflatable modules are going to be a tough sell but I believe Sierra Space is doing the technology right!

    Worker: Hey boss, what you want us to do with this new space habitat? Boss: Blow it up. Worker: Okay.

    My concern is how does the skin hold up to micro meteriods abd other space debris.
  • @imperialofficer6185
    Interesting how it pops like a balloon instead of springing a leak. I'm assuming that's good

    Are you secretly testing tires for a Mars monster truck the size of a castle?
