Last Light
Tether anchored. Surface swings 300°C every cycle. Underground holds steady. Last moment of direct solar. Below: total darkness.
Into Darkness — 30m
LIDAR Returns
Temperature compressing toward −20°C. Cosmic rays dropping behind meters of basalt. First geometry pings — the tube reveals itself.
Tube Floor — 60m
Floor Contact
Tether detaches. Rolling begins. ~100m wide, 20-80m ceiling. Temp: −20°C stable. Radiation: near zero. Held for 3+ billion years.
Survey — 80m+
8,500 Space Stations
Tube extends 50 km. 1km segment = 7.85M m³ = 8,500 ISS volumes. 100+ candidate tubes mapped across the nearside.
