Futur human space stations, somewhere in deep space...

Can you specify at what time this happens
What are their names
What is the scale
Where are the windows
Where are "impulse" engines

Time frame : A few hundred years from now, I guess. Around 2300.

The size is about 70 meters (radius), more or less.

Windows ? What for ? High res cameras are better, for safety and for image quality (in 2300 !!).
The outside environment is very harsh, with lots of cosmic rays, gamma rays, or micro-meteorites, etc,
so windows aren't a good thing. A magnetic field isn't enough for protection.
Also, these space stations are laboratories and relays, located in deep space.
Not tourists stations. There's nothing to see, outside.

Of course, they are nuclear powered, so no need for any solar panels.

Do you see the "impulse" engines, on a large scale picture of the international space station ?
So the engines can't be seen on the pictures above. Especialy for the technologies at year 2300 !
For orientation, there are many large scale gyroscopes inside.

The first station is called "Lao Tseu" and the second one is "Confucius", since almost ALL humanity will be from China and India, at that time in the future.
The West no longer exist at that time, since its economic system will crash completely around 2040 (total poverty, etc).
Civil war will erase Europe at around 2050, so not much is left after that. America will return to a permanent prehistoric state.

Or I can change that future, and call these deep space stations "Homer Simpson" and "Bozo the Clown"...
But then, at that time frame, all humanity would be made of intelligent robots.

The West no longer exist at that time, since its economic system will crash completely around 2040 and return to a medieval state (total poverty, etc).

Eh, eh... the Middle Ages is everywhere here

[Cham]

That looks like a "rennaissance" city, not exactly a medieval city.

The story of that place is a bit more long...

Yeah, that planet texture is Mars with water.

Very nice.

Interesting concept ships...

Got lazy,decided to put 4 in one shot...from top left and going clockwise...Pern (from Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider series), an Earth-like moon orbiting a water giant in the Tegmine system, Isis (from Monica Hughes' Keeper of the Isis Light,) and another water world orbiting a star near Nunki.
