Description
With the 50th anniversary of 2001: A Space Odyssey upon us, and the deluge of imagery that results, I started thinking of its famous centrifuge. Of course, with my predilection for making Star Trek TOS sets, real and imagined, it was only a matter of moments before my neurons crossfired, and I wondered what a TOS centrifuge, its workstations based upon the iconic Enterprise bridge stations, might look like.

This is only conceptual, at this stage - I haven't actually sat down and reasoned out what its workstations might all be, or what other locations might exist on such a structure - obviously, this is a terrible layout for a bridge, with no central oversight position, but it could be interesting as a comm center or at a research outpost. I don't know if I will actually take it to its limits - it was more just a concept I had to get outside my skull for once .
