Von Braun's Wheel

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Wernher von Braun's 'wheel' space station, imagined in the early 1950s, would have orbited Earth 1,075 miles up. This 250-foot wide, inflated nylon structure was designed to rotate, creating artificial gravity for astronauts. It was conceived as a navigational aid, a meteorological station, a military platform, and a way station for space exploration.
