Stanford Torus On The Big Screen!

[Sim Koning]

I don't see anything wrong with the depiction of Elysium, except that it is in low Earth Orbit, wheras it would be a lot safer in a much higher location (but it wouldn't look quite so spectacular).

I'm not sure if the habitat is fully enclosed or if the atmosphere is exposed to space like a Banks orbital. Also, shouldn't it have a large mirror to direct sunlight into the habitat?

I like how the torus edge faces the sun in at least one scene.

Regardless, it's better than seeing another "space building" with magical gravity generators.
