A Realistic Way to Make Space Habitats From Asteroids
We can build space habitats from asteroids by spinning them fast enough. That's what Professor Adam Frank suggests in a recent paper he co-wrote. In this interview, we discussed the idea, how realistic it is and what technology will be needed to achieve it, what applications it can have and when we can expect something like that.

Thanks Fraser for an entertaining interview. I'm reminded of a Star Trek (original series) episode where they encounter a generational star ship built inside an asteroid, so large that the inhabitants have forgotten it's a ship and no longer know how to repair it when it develops a navigational fault.
