O’Neill Cylinder Interior — Rick Guidice
O’Neill Cylinder Interior — Rick Guidice
O’Neill Cylinder Interior by Rick Guidice presents one of NASA Ames Research Center's most iconic visions of a permanent human settlement in space. Rivers, forests, farmland, and rolling countryside extend across the inner surface of a rotating cylinder, illuminated by sunlight reflected through enormous mirror systems.
Created during NASA's 1975 Space Settlement Studies, the artwork demonstrates how artificial gravity could support a complete terrestrial environment within an orbital habitat. The dramatic perspective emphasizes both the immense scale of the cylinder and the optimism of early space settlement research.
