| Jun 27, 2018 at 6:03 | comment | added | Marbrand | The outward pull is simply to have gravity outside the reach of the monoliths, I'm working with the assumption air density would be lower in the upper reaches - this is basically a way for me to have a really big sky for people to fly around in. The monoliths themselves vary a lot, smaller ones usually get turned into ships as they can have engines bolted on to move them. Larger ones are thousands, or in a couple of cases millions of square kilometers, so they have cities, mountains, all kinds of stuff. | |

If it was outward pulling, this could disperse the atmosphere. If people live on the monoliths, do they have houses, buildings, or simply rooms for their habitation? | |

Fixed title of 2001: A Space odyssey. Minor prose rejigging.

Updated with ship dimensions.
