Default Re: \'Starship Dimensions\' Have you all seen this s

First, there were three-story buildings. Then, there were castles. After that were high-rises. Next came skyscrapers. After that will probably be arcologies. Next, orbitals. Then, I forget the name, but you carve a planet into a whole bunch of habitats. After that, ringworlds. Then, Dyson Spheres/Sphereworlds (Not the same thing). Then - I forget the name - But you enclose an entire galaxy in a shell.

No idea what comes after that, but we don't think of three-story buildings as 'big' any more - And castles are just moderately tall.

The mind changes to encompass the environment.
