Description

By 2167 the world population has soared and the demand for energy is out stripping all other needs except food. In orbit around Jupiter, 13 enormous space stations house crews of "H2 Miner". The men and women who man the ships that skim the outer surface of Jupiter and collect the Hydrogen gas that powers the industry and cites of Earth. The ships are mine, the stations are from the web, slightly modified by me. The Jupiter texture is from NASA. Bryce 5, 3D Studio and Photoshop. Needed another space fix.

Great job on this. I read that helium-3 mining of Jupiter will be a desireable endeavor as well. It will be interesting to see what technologies they can come up with to skim the valuable gases from the intense gravity well of such a huge world.
