The Cooper Station, or O'Neill Cylinder, is a large-scale space settlement project in the form of a gigantic rotating structure, proposed by American physicist Gerard O'Neill in his 1976 book, The High Frontier. The idea envisions a theoretically feasible space station for the permanent habitation of a trillion people, capable of completely simulating Earth-like conditions using centrifugal force and sunlight. The structure consists of two enormous cylinders rotating in opposite directions (this
