The Concept of the Bishop Ring
In 1997, Forrest Bishop from the Institute of Atomic-scale Engineering conceived the Bishop Ring as a visionary space habitat design. It aims to replicate Earth-like gravity through the use of centrifugal force, demonstrating an innovative approach to sustaining human life in space.
With ambitious dimensions, the Bishop Ring envisions a habitat 1,000 kilometers in radius and 500 kilometers wide, offering an expansive living area of 3,000,000 square kilometers. Despite its groundbreaking potential, this grandiose space habitat remains an untested hypothesis that is still awaiting realization.
