When a vehicle with sodium, certified solid state, or ProLogium gets here, it resembles a Slate, and charges in 20 minutes at 100kW's, then I'll buy one.

I don't get it. You can make a ship big enough to house an entire civilization, for tens of thousands of years, but you can't spin it?
I suppose this also involves mass-balancing the inhabitants!
What does the Coriolis effect mean in this context?
As far as I can tell, there's no reason to believe that Coriolis will be harmful to humans beyond nausea and disorientation. If you ran quickly through the station it might cause you to fall. Possibly it might make machinery that deals with fluids more difficult to deal with. I would chalk it up as a relatively minor concern compared to other issues.
If humans would be able to settle Mars and asteroid belt, there is no limit to how far you can expand onwards.
You could keep launching them from solar system. But well might need lot of them.
It really does get complicated when you start thinking of details and how mechanics work.
Arguments in favor of not destroying our home planet are a good thing, but the article is shallow enough to hurt the author's cause.
Kurzgesagt: Why humanity will never leave the solar system

Humans will never see the edge of the Earth Humans will never fly Humans will never get to space
