Logistics of oxygen supply aside – if I lived in a domed city, I would want that dome to be made of sapphire. So clear, so strong, I would feel so safe. Right now, no sapphire dome is above me and I have a general sense of unease because of this.

“Sapphire and spinel optical domes that provide front surface protection to electronic sensors and detectors in harsh aerospace and industrial environ-ments are available from Meller Optics, Inc. of Providence, Rhode Island.
