I recently read a two page paper that claimed that a smallish space station
with a large window pointed towards the Sun and rotated could supply
air movement, thermal characteristics, and water movements necessary for
a nice habitat.  How about cutting off the end of an external tank, putting
in a window, rotating it at 1 rpm, fixing up the interior and living in
it?  Sound like a good place to retire (you won't need your cane with that
low gravity)?
