Stanford Torus Station

Description
Inspired by Stanford University's concepts of a Rotating Station in 1975.

Some key elements from the original concept were removed for "reasons"
There's not much to it other than a fancy proof of concept of it. No docking ports or anything like that

There's 2 Options:
-Controllable Stanford Torus in Flight Simulator
-Orbiting Station around the moon

The lack of self-reflection is a limitation of Space Engine PBR's method, and it a damn shame since it would be trippy to see the mirror effects in real time.

3D model by me

The station is orbiting the Moon WAY too fast. I did the maths and it's as if the Moon's gravity was nearly exactly that of Earth, which it obviously isn't.
For those orbital parameters, the station's orbital period should be 0.5987906105629944 days.
