ONE REVOLUTION PER MINUTE - a short film by Erik Wernquist from Erik Wernquist on Vimeo.
ONE REVOLUTION PER MINUTE is a short film that I made to explore my fascination with artificial gravity in space.
1 RPMで惑星の周回軌道上を自転する宇宙コロニー。その居住空間と景観をイメージした短編SF。Christian Sandquistによる壮大な音楽が良い
It takes place aboard the "SSPO Esperanta" - a planetary orbiter that spins around itself at a rate of one revolution per minute (1 RPM). With a radius of 450 meters, the spin generates artificial gravity with an effect of approximately 0.5 g along its main deck.
With the "Esperanta" I wanted to create a leisure-like environment, like a hotel or a cruise ship, and explore what the views could be like from inside when it visited some of the worlds in our solar system. I was also particularly interested in finding out how light and shadows from the sun played around in the interior as it spun around.
For those reasons I decided early on to keep all artificial lights off - with the exception of some emergency lights to avoid complete darkness - and only let natural light illuminate the interiors. As this made the place appear quite desolate, I found it interesting to imagine someone being onboard…

In the center of a black background is a large circular object outlined by electric blue filaments that jolt and weave throughout the structure. The object, which is the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, includes strings of vibrant colors including purple, orange, yellow and blue. This image is watermarked “Credit: NASA/CXC/SAO.”
From calcium in our bones to iron in our blood, we are made of star stuff. But how does the universe make and distribute these elements? @JAXA_en’s recently launched XRISM telescope will study the objects and events that created the “cosmic recipe” of our present-day universe.

The Israeli air force said Thursday it had dropped 6,000 bombs, hitting more than 3,600 targets, over the past five days in Gaza — more than the United States dropped during any month of the entire, five-year US air campaign against the Islamic State

BREAKING: Israel has used white phosphorus in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, putting civilians at risk of serious and long-term injuries.
White phosphorus causes excruciating burns and can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful.

When are "self-defense" & "collateral damage" no longer acceptable explanations?
A pre Oct 7 2023 ratio of >30 Palestinian lives to 1 Israeli is rather stiff to keep spinning various arguments of self-defense.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. There are no more painkillers.
Our staff tell us about wounded people screaming in pain, and people who can't get to the hospital."
