The original Boro Sphere, while a magnificent dream, presents its own set of considerations and challenges, many of which remain unresolved. Bernal himself provided limited technical details, making it difficult to ascertain the practicalities involved in constructing such a habitat. The simplicity of the design—often depicted as a crystal ball—contributes to its allure. However, contemporary engineering perceptions have evolved, recognizing that a transparent outer layer would struggle to support life amid harsh space conditions.
