Most important question. What's the onboard gym like? Auger originally had a basketball court in one of the legs. They stopped letting people use it after a few injuries.

How many workers are typically on a platform like that during a normal rotation?

Awesomeness OP.

Amazing what Humans are able to accomplish.


You don't see any stupid whales building giant structures to consume resources on land...






Except for the time Kate Upton commissioned an outdoor kitchen.

Yea, I'd be more inclined to agree with that number.. With more living quarters, they have no problems keeping service hands out there for longer periods of time.

If you know where Mars and Ursa are, it's the the one with the newest paint job. It's one hell of an oil basin in that area. I think it's around 3000' water depth.
