Looks like any old interplanetary ship, doesn't it. But it most definitely is not ordinary.This craft, inspired by a ship-that-will-not-be-named in a movie-that-will-not-be-named, features a rotary habitat ring! It provides artificial gravity in order to stop your kerbals from devolving into puddles of green slime. The habitat ring rotates independently of the main ship, and crew members can easily transfer between their quarters and the command section. The ring rotates at a speed of 20 m/s at its maximal safe capacity, enough to produce a centrifugal force of around 0.3 G. The rotary engines are good for about 120 days of sustained rotation or 220 days of 0.2 G gravity. Use the physics warp mod for it to remain rotating. The torus is held in place by a state-of-the-art system of road wheels and dinner plates. A few pieces of metal is all that is stopping the torus from floating away into the void. Some corners had to be cut in order to keep the craft light enough to be sent into orbit. Due to the limitations of the stock game, the torus must be at the end of the craft in order to function properly. Also due to the same limitations, the torus may exit the wheel cage when using physics warp, so be careful. Can reach Jool with a well-executed maneuver. No botanists allowed.
