No. I was stating that the film designers were influenced more by the O'Neill art work than by Ringworld. In fact, as I stated in the previous post, I think they ripped them off. If you were not aware of O'Neill's work then you wouldn't know that but I thought you might be interested.
I bought O'Neill's book when it came out in 1976 and have been an L5er (as we are known) ever since. We believe that humanity's future and survival depends on colonizing space. It is a disappointment that this has only been realized in fiction and in mediocre SF films. It is a further disappointment that people talk blithely about colonizing and terraforming Mars when building habitats would likely be more cost effective.
