"On 20th December, 2011, the Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, in an interview with Global Post, disclosed that a facility in Dnipropetrovsk is producing parts for the first stage of a Stanford Torus Space station in collaboration with U.S. scientists.[10]"

I think a refrence to the Novel Ringword would be apropriate. Perhapse under a Refrenced in fiction type-section? Justin 23:07, 27 December 2005 (UTC). The historical thread begins with the premice that habitats are built with known materials, the Ringworld cannot, nor can many fictional habitats. In the interest of actually getting there I think we should think about known materials and how they may be obtained and used in space. Space construction is difficult because of the frailty and unsuitablity (pardon the pun) of human constructors. I think that before space stations are anything more than an expensive experiment a method of constructing them with robots must be worked out. I think this is possible because robots function best in a simple environment and in the absence of cats. Robots are used for many assembly plants and I believe a fairly complex assembly can be programmed. I propose that, if enough people are interested, we could contribute to a prize for some kind of primative constructor. This would require that someone well known host the prize and that a number of people contribute a small sum. We may have a considerable grace period before cats make it into space, but in fact I think this is an idea thats time has come. 19:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)gem Selective_laser_sintering might prove to be something that robots could do with relatively little processing of materials since it works with a great variety of substances.[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-12-27T23:07:00.000Z","author":"J.smith","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-J.smith-2005-12-27T23:07:00.000Z-Ringworld","replies":["c-Mark_Foskey-2008-01-22T22:00:00.000Z-J.smith-2005-12-27T23:07:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Justin"}}-->
Is Freeside really a torus? If I remember correctly, Gibson describes it as cigar-shaped in Neuromancer.

I removed the reference to Ringworld, since it is CLEARLY inappropriate. The Ringworld is a modified version of a Dyson sphere, and is completely different, both in scale and in mechanics. Ringworld is the size of the orbit of a planet in the "Goldilocks" zone, and is heliocentric, i.e. it rotates with the star at its center. A Stanford torus, and similar structures, rotate on an imaginary or structured axis, and would be stationed at one of the Lagrange points around an individual planet.

A more accurate paragraph would be: "Bungie's video game series Halo involves orbiting space-station rings completely unlike the Stanford torus model, being approximately four million times larger in diameter." Unless there's something in Halo 3 that I haven't seen that look like a Stanford torus - the Halo installation itself isn't a torus, it's a ribbon. There's no roof, and no mirrors.
In fact, I shall delete the reference here to Halo, on the grounds that it's entirely irrelevant to this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.188.147.34 (talk • contribs) 10:14, 23 August 2007

I was surprised by these calculations in the source document that the limiting factor for the torus material's tensile strength is for containing the air pressure (51.7 kPa), not counteracting the centrifugal force (7.66 kPa equivalent). I remember reading that tensile strength for larger structures (Ringworld) required exotic materials.

This article is generally great but flawed, unsurprisingly. I understand the Stanford Torus to be the specific design of space habitat conceived at the Summer Study in 1975, but toroidal space habitats were conceived a long time before that. For instance, there's a well-known Chesley Bonestell illustration of one from the '50s. The main problem with this is that all the stuff about centrifuge-style space habitats is being put here and belongs somewhere else.
If there were a loose object in the living space of a rotating torus, not attached to anything, like a bird, would it still be subject to the same gravity and move along at the same speed as everything else?81.71.164.202 (talk) 03:31, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-05-29T03:31:00.000Z","author":"81.71.164.202","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-81.71.164.202-2011-05-29T03:31:00.000Z-loose_objects","replies":["c-Tamfang-2011-07-23T18:01:00.000Z-81.71.164.202-2011-05-29T03:31:00.000Z"]}}-->

In the introductory section the text that discusses the apparent gravity due to the centrifugal force has been changed a few times to read 'centripetal', perhaps by folks armed with a the high-school physics meme that there is "no such thing as centrifugal force".
Centrifugal is correct (I've changed it back), and in fact centrifugal is the term used throughout the NASA document cited at the end of that sentence.
I'm adding this in the hope that a future drive-by corrector might think twice before changing it again.
