@futurebird @mcc I was thinking of a cylinder about a quarter of a mile in diameter and a mile long. Gives enough space for growing crops with proper crop rotation.
The large diameter means that you can generate 1g without excessive rotational speeds, reducing Coriolis effects.
I think it could be done, but a lot of the material would have to come from moons or asteroids.
One thing that always bugs me in Sci-fi, they usually throw the dead bodies out into space. Nope - that's valuable resources you're throwing away. Put them into the composter. Footfall by Niven and Pournelle gets this right.
