SpaceX pivots to the Moon, more evidence of past life on Mars, bacteriophages built from scratch, working on a graviton detector, magnetically controlled antibodies...and a whole lot more.
I wrote a short SF story to contain my ideas for a Mars orbit O'Neill cylinder. The main differences were that because there is less sunlight, the colony uses larger, curved mirrors to collect more light, and the resulting focusing effect means that the windows can actually be smaller, and the land area larger. They were to be used for agriculture to support a Mars colony, and contain a gas processing plant to remove excess oxygen for the colony to use, and periodically ramscoop CO2 from the atmosphere for the plants with a shuttle.
Didn't want to be TOO self promotional... but it's here on Substack between all the meme posts... It's called "Glass Houses". https://substack.com/@drmauser/p-155798469
Bacteriophages are awesome. I actually used to work at a startup in this space called Locus Biosciences. They are a fantastic company and don't get nearly enough good press!

Very cool idea! What's the story title? Did you publish it anywhere?

Cool! I'll have to look them up.
