A couple of space colony summer studies were conducted at NASA Ames in the
1970s. Colonies housing about 10,000 people were designed. A number of artistic
renderings of the concepts were made. The anime series Mobile Suit Gundam uses these concept to despict the space colonies in the animated series.
30th Anniversary Macross Exhibition - Valkyrie de sasotte!
This special exhibition will is currently being held at SunShine City (Ikebukuro, Japan) between Apr. 28th - May 6th 2012.
We posted on Mecha Guy about this exhibition this morning, and I was really amazed at the sight of the 1/1 scale display of the VF-25 Valkyrie, and thought this deserves to be posted here even though it has nothing to do with Gundam.
To view more images of the exhibition: HERE & HERE

Synopsis via Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Official Website [Spoilers Below]:
Banagher is attacked
by the black mobile suit Banshee, and taken into custody. Backed into a corner,
he still continues to conceal the new coordinates leading to Laplace's Box which
were revealed by the Unicorn Gundam. Bright, the commander of the Londo Bell,
sees in Banagher the dignity and possibility shown by generations of Gundam
pilots, and he finds help from old firends he once fought beside.
Meanwhile, Mineva has
been handed over from Ronan to Martha, and she is transferred to the giant
transport plane Garuda as a pawn to make Banagher talk. The conflict surrounding
the Box soars to a high altitude and, finally, back into space...
