Artistic Explorations - Artistic Expectations

Just a collections of artistic creations that I find interesting. Like this city-space station. Artificial gravity provided by spinning. Not a bad idea, but with some problems (explored in the series Babylon 5).

Or this bustling metropolis, complete with super highways and literal skyscrapers - and no smog.

Another spinning city - this time in the atmosphere of a planet.

Peaceful river in an interesting solar system.

The ISV Venture Star from the movie Avatar. Honestly, this was my favorite part of the movie. It was a seconds-long explanation of what interstellar vehicles might look like. It's a style that I call "21st Century". Lots of skeleton framework and artificial gravity coupled with enough speed to actually go somewhere.

More literal skyscrapers. I seriously think this will be the way of the future. Rockets will only be useful for a while, then we need more permanent, heavier-lift means of carrying materials and people into space.

Another "21st Century" spacecraft. This time more of a space station.

A foreign solar system.

Maybe someday these won't have to be artistic creations and can be actual photographs. We just have to keep pushing into the future. We have to ring a new age, a new era.
