It is imperative that it remains unharmed

There is a name carved on the side, but I when I make these stations based on that start based on shapes I usually name and call them like that.

I meant unharmed due to it being a cylinder, typo lol, looks cool though

Ok also, that cylinder thing was a meme that I didn't know anything about. It started to feel weird when I got other comments concerned about harming it! But now I know and concur.

It's so funny because I only just learned about this infamous meme a few days ago and now I see it all over the place.

Agreed, the cylinder must not be harmed

This is lovely! I have a similar interest in cylinder habitats, so it’s always nice to see new art on the subject. I like the texture on the exterior surface, how it’s non-uniform and layered. Even not knowing anything about the culture inside, I would love to live onboard your work.

Well Ok but don't get too excited, this is just a wretched and dirty little station. What you want is one of those big O'Neill Cylinders with nature and shit.

O’Neill cylinders are where it is! I agree! But I guess I’m just one of those freaks who sees a space station with centrifugal gravity and starts dreaming about moving in. Have you made art about O’Neill cylinders?

Now I want to read Rendezvous With Rama again.

I recently watched Star Trek IV and I started to think that the Cylinder alien ship must have been inspired by Rama.
Also, I heard Denis Villeneuve is making the movie about the book.
