A whole bunch of nonsense.  There is no driver for such a station

Paraphrasing:

There are no fundamental technological problems in the way of developing such a system, but there is also no plan for it.  There's no desire by the US government, who run the SLS program, for a larger LEO presence in any form.  So discussing it is a waste of time.  It's also not novel enough to be interesting technologically;  We could have done this with two Skylabs if we'd wanted to with a small amount of effort.

...

Myself, I find this view somewhat limited, but it is true that these things never seem to go anywhere, and at the BOTE level, a large LEO presence seems pointless to base off the hull of the most expensive launch vehicle ever when we have alternate options in Bigelow inflatables.

If we quit discussing notional concepts we would eliminate a lot of threads.  Most of the "flexible exploration" path forward is notional. There is no mandate for anything much on that path except build SLS, build Orion,  and "study" habitats.

IMO it is good to post notional ideas on the group because of all the expert vetting that is available.  Utilizing the capabilities of SLS, as well as any other assets we may have, is a sound basis for notional concepts. 

On the topic at hand, seems like a reasonable concept for a Mars cycler.

Reminds me of the 'wet lab' designs of the Apollo days. If memory serves, there was a toroidal version that was planned to rotate.

The BA-330 is actually heavier than SLS derived habitat modules per volume provided.

I originally read this as "SLS derived artificial reef habitats"... which is one benefit of SLS being fully expendable. :D

A much more realistic plan, don't you think?

Apples to Oranges comparison, an empty propellant tank is not a habitat, it has none of the mechanical systems necessary to sustain life let alone make it comfortable, Bigelow module mass numbers DO include these necessities as they are intended to be immediate ready to live in habitats.

Its not apples and oranges. NASA is familiar with propellant tank derived habitats since the days of Skylab. And SLS propellant tank derived habitats are currently under study.

If you have serous objections to their videos then you need to elaborate on what you specifically find wrong about what they are arguing.  I found nothing wrong about their arguments and found nothing wrong about Andy Weir's argument.

But you apparently do. So let's hear it!
