That space station would be created by using a modular structure, and it would send to space in small bites. Then those bites would dock together to one big entirety.  This was the first version of this kind of structure. Then Gerald O'Neill created an idea, that inside the ring-shaped space station would be the vegetables and other things, what would make it look like Earth inside the station.
