The little patches you see around the sphere just below the light blue
are going to be the source of new soil production. Super fine , manure,
animal caucuses or part no fit for consumption, and plants that will be
mixed together and plowed back under. They are up at that height on the
wall of the sphere because that is roughly the level of the highest ground.
The Patches Of Plants For Growing Sod
The next the garden in the middle next to the beach area. Really the only
reason show the tree being moved out first is the problem of size. Some these
plants are tranfers from the ship others new growth. Tomato plants where a
plant I planned on having on the plane. Full bushes by now but some new
plants should be ready to be placed now in the sphere.
The plane still has all it's trays full of plants and is still producing. Animal
by products and not now going the for soil production. It is important to remember
that the parts of the solar reflector gets hotter than 750 degrees. That is hot enough
to burn all hydrocarbons. No smell, water water and carbon dioxide.
Tomatoes were to have been loaded on to the ship ready or about ready to bear
fruit, some blooms aready falling off as fruit is about to appear. Some
other plants to be started as soon as fertilizer is available. That what is
important if something new is coming and you can see it grow than eating the
same thing is not as bad. My advantage also know it is easier.
There are areas on the other side of the sphere that are producing grasses and grains for the animals.
Do remember we would have been housed in the ring since stage 4. No pool no party just into
the ring building, but there is now a place where theyl can come out of the
ring. That is the small brown area at the top of the drawing. Outside to stand
in dirt.
There will always be some plants growing in the plane mostly food in case of emergency.

The Crop And Livestock areas (Actually on the other side of sphere)
The pool for seperating sand has been in larged in preparation the filling
and shaping of the terrain inside the sphere. The majority of work up to now
been on the building up of the outside of the sphere. The inside work at
this being just soil production and an interesting and growing environment
for humans. The length of time needed increasing the thickness of the sphere
requires most of the time. The length of time it takes to build up the
whole surface of the sphere is a good match to time needed to produce
enouogh soil to cover a sizeable amount of the inside surface.
Here a small amount of additional crops are shown on top of the ring building.
On the ring on the itself the amount of crop and gain planting area has been
increased.
This section and the future additions will of course harvested as they mature.
There is no winter, spring, summer, and fall cycle yet. The conditions of winter or
an overly hat day are just remind one that this is a good place to be. Water spayed
into the air to make snow. Fun? Maybe?

Simple Area Covering But It Is Growth
The patches used for soil product and still growing in preparation for the
later shaped terrain. They have recently had the ground up animal by products
added powdered rock seeds. A new growth cycle. Some has been taken to start
production else where.
The sphere now should be able to fully support the people and animal life,
with out any asistance from the ship. Remember are garden space and patches
for soil production and gains being grown on the other side of the sphere.
One sf the should keep in mind that progress could stop here at this level
of completion of the interior and survive perimently, but it is and would
look half done.
10
The Piling Sand For Filling In The Lower Areas
Up till now have just been grinding up fine sand for the soil growing patch.
There now a be a need for a lot of course material ie sand and even rock
for building up to the right level. The fine sand can now be just a by product
of the rock and course sand needed.
Note There is going to be metal and other elements that are harmful to people or
to animals. These are to be encapsuled in steel and labeled. Lead is one that
will be needed others ie lithium zinc boron can just be burried some where
they can be gotten to easily.
soil.
Note Over time this thickness of fine sand will be plowed into thickening the layer of
soil.
11
Now The Sand Is Piled As High As The Building
At this stage of the filling the sand is now about as high as
the ring building or about 10 ft. The sand is still back away from the
water at bottom so that it will drain more completely. The patches for
soil production are still being enlarged.
I am showing these steps so that a person can see but also to show the time
involved. Someone is going to be calling the work done to get to here or there
the amount of work would be sizeable necessary
12
The Tent Actually Being Outside
Preparing For Shifting Or Moving The Crop Areas
A tent for living sleeping and living outside. This is just another change
to make when the sphere is safe from radiation cosmic rays from sun spots.
Here is added something that could have been added during any of the last
three stages.
At this stage of the fill the piles of fill sand is now at about 40 ft above
the height of the of what will be the hills along the outside of this valley.
Now start the movement of the grain, crops and the
gardens to the top of the building and the fianl height of the valley. so
that food production can continue. The filling in of a ram to the top on
one side is visable in this picture.
The patches for soil production are still being enlarged.
13
The Crops Area Are Now On Top oF The
Building
The area for growing crops is now on top of
the building. The soil about 6 to 12 inches deep is just scraped up and
moved, much like a thick sod in small sections would be. Now the lower
area around the building can be filled in. The fill here should be almost
gravel.The larger the gravel the less water it can hold. The fine sand
almost like a powered being saved back for the top coat. The thin layer of
soil that can be put on then will a moister "holder barrier" below it. The
plants of course will grow roots into this area to get the moister.
Turning the soil will mix The fine sand, old plant roots, and the soil.
One of the long term items for sale is of course soil that is
beyond your needs. This would speed up others building up of sphere and
small items wanted could be brought up. Nylon cloth or swim trunks,
comtputer board, hard drive, movies, giutar or piano strings, seed, plants
or spices. The list of little things is of course as long as what one
allows one self to have or not have.

The Placement Of The House And To The Ring
The house's structure is of steel like the sphere itself. The house is supposed
to be the second safest place to be the ring build is the first. he house is
conected to the ring the walk way indicated by gray lines from the house the
ring. From inside the house one could a survey any damage and
figure a course of action. The water in the creek and lake can be drawn into
tanks or ie rooms in the ring for storage. One could go down into the tunnel
and go into the original house in the ring building.
Keeping the sphere balanced has never been a part of what I have been explaining
till now because it has not effected it's final appearence. For instance the weight
of the equipment bring in the rock gravel and pouder, has to be balanced by
something on the other side of the wheel etc.
The first though was a lake accrosed from the house. There was still what to
put on the over hemisphere of the sphere the picture. That has to be either centered
on the axis or half on one side and half one the other side, as with the house and
the lake. Because the house is not on the center line of rotation something must be
on the other side.
For now metal will be add accross from the house and on either side of the building to
maintain balance of the sphere

15
Ever Growing Piles Of Sand
The soil and plants on either side of the ring building are now shifted to the other
half of the ring. So the sand can be moved in up to the level of the top of the ring
building. Keep in mind the same thing is happening on the other side of the sphere. The
ring must remain in balance.
The middle is going to level out to just above the building ring. The patches
for making soil are now at or above the height of the ground on the outside where
the trees will be. Lots of soil for the trees to grow in. The leaves? Down to
the feilds.
16
The Shifting Of Farming To The Other Side Of The Sphere
The farming by this time not just for need it has grown beyond need. The extra
is now being saved and in time some will just be plowed back under. The
farming now can be moved to the other side. The farm can be surveyed from houses
side of the sphere.
Grow more than you need is the important part to remember. If nothing else your
adding to Soil Growth.
17
Hold the phone ?
The is the final height of the hills to consider. What will been left there and
pressed down or compacked should be the base for what can grow to be a 20 30 or 40
foot tall tree. The can be only on kind of storm here but trees need to be well rooted.
So here there is a partical fill around the pads that the trees will grow in.
The last of the beach site. The trees are moved up around the house. Just a
point, in time from in front of the house you can not see the sky over head.
You can see the light hitting the ground not in the shade. I won't throw the
tent out I just won't advice wearing it out. There is only one to a sphere.
18
The Last Of The Little Beach And The Tent
The last of the beach site. The trees are moved up around the house. Just a
point, in time from in front of the house you can not see the sky over head.
You can see the light hitting the ground not in the shade. I won't throw the
tent out I just won't advice wearing it out. There is only one to a sphere.
19
Moving The Soid And Farming Area For Future Construction ?
The moving of the sod or top soil from the edge of the ring so that area can
be filled in. The outside edge of the sod will mark edge of the little hills
or ridge that lines the valley in the sphere.
|
20
Addition Of A Shoot For The Animals
The one area around the ring building that has stayed at the rings level,
that of the animal area or barn area. Now Last of the ring landing will be
covered over and a shoot put in so the animals can get up to ground level.
The pen is also a source now for making top soil The last of the sod is moved o
ut to along the ridge line.
21
The Steel Creek Bed Water Containment
I choose to have the banks the creek hi vary in height of the creek itself. The
higher the more the soil or sand is packed. Visual this gives it the appearence of
having eaten through the land. The lake I want to be different open.
The most important part of the creek bed is the use of one principul. Wicking
Water can only rise so far in the sand. So the water level has to be down a foot
below the top of the steel creek bed. Soil and sand over hang the top down
into the creek bed and line the bottom.
See Insert
22
The Steel Lake Bed Deep And Shallow
The lake sets on legs up off the surface of the sphere. There is a pipe running
back into the ring build for draining the lake and the creek.
The mass of steel making the house and the lake most be balanced on the
other side of the sphere. Centering a mass over the middle of the ring would
do the job or one could put in another lake that stretchs a crossed with a
water fall on one side. Water fall into lake surrounded trees, then into the
creek coming over to the lake by the house, then into the creek which travels
back to the other side and disappears amoung some trees and bushes.
23
Adding And Shaping The Sand And The Wave
Now here you can see the shape done in sand, rather then the steel botom. of the previous
drawing. The waster will befollowing from the bottom of the drawing up. The slope
of the creek is not even the drack line just before the lake has the steepest
slope. There is a gate just before the lake that stops the water and allows
it to build up. This is to release a wave accross the lake. The wave will bonnce off the back
of the lake and go back accross toward the beach. This is not meant to appear as a wave of any
real size just to show some motion. Slowing and speeding up of the flow of the creek as well
as the wave itself.
24
The Water
The water is put into the creek and lake. There was alway in any plan to take
fish and water plant. Bends in the creek bed allow for places out of the current
for plant life to grow and the tall banks allow for shading. That is not to say
that the fish will not find there way in and out of the lake but it allows
them place off to themselves.
Iam not planning to take along sunfish. But here is story involving an over
population of sunfish. The lake was in sand and at the water level of a near
by river, plenty of Oxygen. Food on the other hand was in short supply. The
sunfish would come up and bite on the hairs of my legs. Just stand still for a
minute or so and they would start biting.
25
The Beach
This is part too of the reason for the banks on the creek ets. The beach not like
just a large bank on the creek something different.
Here is that something old and yet new, from my childhood and saning for minows and cradads.
This on goes on the other side right before the creek disappears into the bushes. The raised
that the waterfall falls from is of course a part of the surrounding hill that juts out to a
cliff. The shape of the cliff is a right triangle with the short leg where the waterfall is.
This gives the creek with a cliff along it. Now the bushes trees and then the creek gose into the
hill and comes out under the water fall. Only a small protion of the water actually falls the ten
or more feet. A paddle wheel under the hill keeps the speed of the water up.
26
The Building Up Of The Ridge That Encloses The Valley
The patches for soil will be the places where the big trees are
planted. The rest will be sand, the powder covering, and then
soil for the grasses and small bushes. This allows for more surface area. The
trees will also grow out over the wall of the sphere it's self. There is going to
be too much production of fruits and crops but this will get plowed back into the
soil.
27
Adding The Trees And The Sodding Of Ridge Lines
The trees go into the patches that has provided most o the soil for the sphere.
The top of the ridges appearance could be anything, from a smooth mesa to hills
crowder together. First the sand, then the powder and Sod or soil and seed.

I was told the people that did what some in Nebraska what to call their connection to the writing of Star Wars were dead in 1998. Forget about being seen. So I went to work on the plane. Stupid he cannot do a thing? Later when I was being interfered with in a Library. Someone yelled out we do not want you to be able to do anything worth while.
Stephen Spielberg, George W. Lucas so much for some cities and their University. Very heavy on their University. I later got kicked out of the University's Library and the main Branch of the City's Library. You would need your own Library there. A few tricks I will name who if any one wants to ask.
Space is still where I want to be. George W. Lucas the Jedi Temple is probably in space. As Budha said still waiting for man to develope.
