 Perhaps the cylinders under consideration for orbital space stations
are not sufficiently large to require wraping them around into rings.
In time, the length of the station will require wrap around, and in
more time the circumference will be a long walk so cross tubes will be
added. Eventually we will build a "Death Star" type vehicle which we
can stroll along the surface of, taking in some rays.
