But I don't remember them looking as pink as they do now!
I guess I tend to think of them using other colors or shades of the same at least.
Then again, I admit I haven't rewatched 0079 in ages.
In any case, I suppose laughing at stuff like this from time to time isn't so bad.

Blame (modern) Sunrise. No, really.
They show up in lots of other (relatively) recent stuff. |

Guys isn't that how fire is supposed to look in space? Pink?

I thought you can't get fire in a vacuum. Maybe it's some kind of gas which has been colored to aid in leak detection .

It's Minovsky Particles. Oh, some AU series doesn't have those? Yes it does.
It's Gundam, physics only applies to the practicality of the space stations and absolutely nothing else. And Valvrave can't even manage to get that much right.

@walw6pK4Alo:
Actually, computer models have been done and given enough time an O'Neill cylinder* would end up tumbling end-over-end without active stability control, which of course they don't have.
Also, there's the fact that O'Neill's design called for pairs of connected cylinders so that they could be pointed towards the sun at all times*. A single cylinder will almost never be pointed towards the sun due to the gyroscopic effect, meaning the colony will get no sunlight in the interior or on its power cells.
So Gundam doesn't even do space colony design right either.
*
Or for that matter any rotating cylinder whose length/height is more than 1.1 times its diameter.
*
Through cables one cylinder can be made to retard (as in, slow down) the rotation motion of the other, and the sunwards ends of both cylinders can be brought closer together or made to drift further apart. It's a complicated process but the upshot is that it allows both cylinders to be pointed wherever the human operators want. This means their mirrors and solar cells can be pointed towards the sun at all times.

I'm no expert in astrophysics, i only suggested the has theory coz that's what we use for structural crack detection in dragline boom framework. It does work. Except the has turns liquid when it seeps through a crack, it's also dyed pink.
