Time to close it and do a radiosity render using the bright central beam 
as your light source.

Now that I can more clearly apreciate the intended dimentions, my 
initial comments about transportation are getting even tronger. It's 
conciderably less tham 1 Km in length. On foot, you can probably go from 
just about anywhere to anywhere on an average of about 10 minutes. I 
also think that the maglevs tracks soult turn when they reatch the end 
caps. If not, then there must be terminal stations at those points.

The inside windows in the end cap must curve inward MUCH more to resist 
the air pressure. Even if there is air between the hull and iner shell, 
it's needed to prevent them bursting in case of a catastrophic hull breatch.

If the space between the iner shell and the hull is presurised, then the 
outher windows will need to bulge out like gigantic bubbles similar to 
the geodesic domes you already have.
