programmatic distribution
The idea of seperating the programmes based on the strength of gravity rather than of levels allows for ...........
| transportation
|
|
residential high gravity
The high gravity conditions caters for better human living conditions
|
agriculture low gravity
The low gravity conditions allows for new techniques used in agriculture
|
transportation low gravity
Low gravity environments allows for smooth transportation system
|
industrial low gravity
The low gravity conditions enables for a new methodology in the manufacturing field
