    I wonder if they could make debris to just bounce of the station...

    Boing!

        Will it stop the doomsday comets and meteors, or will we still have to send Robert Duval or Ben Affleck up to save us?

          Shooting Ben Affleck into a meteor, while a good idea, isn't going to stop it.

                    The objective is to make the debris shatter on impact.

For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                      What's up with those planet pics in mission control?
                      Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
                      And notifying the next of kin

                        Sorry, but I donj't buy the notion that the people at NASA, and the Soviets/Russian, the guys who have had the longest experience running a space station, would know of the supposed "superiorities" of some inflatable shell and not use that in their designs.

                        Engineering is Engineering.

                        Oh, and nice to see that the private sector has to use the designs of the Russian (ex Soviet) space program to get this thing into space.

                            Stock images. Nothing's yet on orbit, so there's nothing to show. I think they'll have a half dozen video feeds to put up in a couple of weeks. Also, I don't know if mission control's software is fully built out. They have several years to do so.

                              These test spaceballs should be made to attach to the full sized one when they get that up. These could be bedrooms or something. OR... used to escape if the main spaceball gets popped by something. An 'Escape Pod Spaceball' if you will.
