O'Neill Colonies

The O'Neill Colonies are three gigantic space stations located at the Earth-Moon Lagrange points, in stable positions around both celestial bodies.
==Overview==
During the construction of the Crystal Palace at L-1, the European Space Agency planned the O'Neill Colonies as the second step in space colonization. The location chosen was the rest of the Lagrange points (L-2 through 5) around the Earth and the Moon, which occupied stable positions and made them the perfect place for long-duration, self-sustained colonies.
Named after the late space advocate pioneer Gerard K. O'Neill and based on his ideas, these stations were concepted to be built along a cylindrical plan and were about 16-30km long, and 6-8km wide. They were composed of lunar rock and metal framing, and the whole interior surface was to be covered in earth, with waterways and huge windows that allowed sunlight to enter.
The first construction was a much smaller technology testbed version built at the Lagrange point 2 behind the Moon, which would later serve as a spacecraft construction and maintenance depot. O'Neill One became the first of these habitat colonies, beginning construction in 2010 and finalizing in 2016. It was followed by the smaller O'Neill Two (2011 - 2017) and the O'Neill Three (2011 - 2018), which was as big as the first one.
Both O'Neill One and Two gained their independence from the ESA in 2022.
