I should also add that it's going to be my first concert, period.

They're going to my city this July, and I was hoping to come with my mom. I've listened to a few of their live performances, but other than that, I don't actually know all that much about what their concerts are like. Is there anything I need to know? They've been my #1 favorite band for quite some time, so I'm really excited. Thanks! ^^

I don't know exactly where I should post this, so forgive me if this is the wrong sub.

I'm not an engineer, but I am writing a novel which features a spaceship that has a rotating centrifuge for artificial gravity. The ship itself doesn't rotate, yet it still has two habitat masts that rotate around its central axis.

I figured this was an ok method of generating artificial gravity, but then I wrote a scene in the book where a character climbs from the bottom of one habitat mast to the central axis, where there isn't any artificial gravity. The way I imagined it operating then was that the habitat mast would have a ladder traveling to a rotating core, at the ship's central axis. Where they connect, there would be a tunnel granting the person access to the rest of the ship. The core and the central tunnel would have hatches aligning with each other to allow people to travel between them.

I was prepared to leave it at that, but then I realized something: the core would still be spinning, so there would be a moment where the hatches would be obscured. It wasn't a huge issue, but then I had a really morbid thought: there's the possibility an occupant could get snagged between the rotating hatches if they traversed the centrifuge too late. (I'm sure you can imagine what might happen next, yikes.)

That would be a genius creative idea if someone made an installment of Final Destination where it was in space, but my novel does not have that kind of tone.

Thinking about it some more, I came to the conclusion where, to make sure the occupant doesn't die, the actual ship would have to be split into three parts: A front end, the centrifuge itself, and the rear end.

However, that would mean that there would be many weak points where the ship itself could potentially split and be destroyed. Again, this would be nice if I was making a space disaster novel, but I'm planning for the ship to be completely intact throughout the entire plot.

I think I have a vague idea on how to solve this, (I'll post a rough sketch I did in the comments) but if there are any engineers on this sub that have worked on projects like this, I'd really appreciate your insight. This little design issue has completely snowballed out of control, and the sooner I can put this to bed, the better.

Thank you so much, and apologies if I put this in the wrong sub! ^^

EDIT: I just came up with a solution that would circumvent the entire structural issue: just making the centrifuge hub's diameter wider than the central axis.

DANGIT!

Hey, y'all! Somewhat new fan here. I use streaming services like iTunes, but I notice that it only has a few of their albums. A lot of their other music (notably a lot of the demos from their 2024 Voids remaster) I can't seem to find anywhere, aside from uploads to YouTube and the collection u/yokucasper made, which I'll link here.

Is there any way I can find actual copies of these songs (vinyl, CDs, etc.), or is it just through these methods?

Thanks! ^^
