The constructions on another colony ship have started. This thread will
keep all future space colonists up to date, thus you are requested to
follow this thread.

We have established a large cylinder, and work right now on the
illumination of the inside habitat. In opposition to another colony ship
(chief designer: Mr. Mike Horvath), our colony ship has a long
construction along its middle axis, which features an artificial fusion
sun system, that rotates just slightly slower than the cylinder habitat,
thus achieving a real day and night phase for the colonists.

At the present stage, the habitat has a radius of 1500 meters (diameter:
3 km), and a length of 5 km. While the lights in the center are almost
white, the lights towards the side transform from peachy sunset colors
to dark purple early night colors.

The central construction, in which there is no gravity, contains the
lights and beside rapid transport tubes, also our oxygen production
(using a light-emitting porous tissue through which air is moving, with
genetically modified cyano bacterias on the surface of that porous tissue.

This cylinder is one of four, counter-spinning cylinders of the colony ship.

Our next step is the addition of air into the habitat. We will keep you
posted.
