Reading through the FUQ (frequently unanswered questions) thread on this board, someone posted that there is a space station at the L3 Sun-Earth LaGrange Point. For those of you without degrees in astrophysics, that means that directly opposite of earth and behind the sun, there is a space station. Like so:
L3 - - - -SUN - - - -Earth My first thought was WTF! It would take about six months to ship anything between the two stations (That means, six months in deep space on a space shuttle, just to get food to people, or spare parts, or whatever.) And it would be a year-round trip for the resupply crew. Sure it is private, but it just seems way to inconvenient. In Shadowrun, just how many space stations are there and how many are outside of the earth/moon system (in so-called deep space?) The only space station I know about is Zurich Orbital, and a few smaller research stations in geosynchronous orbit. What other space stations am I missing? |
