Ideas about centrifugal space colony habitats on high-gravity planets

[QUOTE="hmmm27, post: 6192233, member: 602748"] Well... you could put your facility deep enough underground that the net gravity is effectively 1g, or keep drilling all the way through and have the facility freefall back and forth from one side of the planet to the other. Both engineering challenges are (I believe) pretty far beyond us - though it looks simple in theory - mostly due I imagine to pressure at depth. On the other hand, the train thing would probably be doable without any handwavium or unobtanium, though the only thing we have that compares is the Hyperloop : a couple of hundred miles of track at a couple of hundred miles an hour... as opposed to tens of thousands of miles of track at tens of thousands miles per hour, which is what you need.
