When you’re forging new molecules, there’s nothing better than working in space. That’s why MesoMaxx built this factory out here, at Lagrange 1, locked into a gravitational web spun by Earth and the Sun. It sounds fancy, but mostly we just work double shifts to knit carbon nanotube ribbons for new space elevators.

This fantastic image was created by bara for the Environment of the Week contest in the ConceptArt.org forums — you can see more of bara’s work on ConceptArt.
