Due to their size compared to the space shuttles below them, all I can think of is a concept along the line of Ender's Game with the sphere that was not rotating to simulate no gravity. Also with their size, I feel like the spheres can have very intricate layouts within them to provide a comfortable place of living for the time it takes to travel? Or not necessarily for the living to be up and about, but act as incubators for humanity - humans, animals, plants, etc.? It could go along with the idea the world was evacuating Earth. I personally think it is odd to see those designs of space shuttles during that time period as well...it's along the ideas of the current day car designs appearing all over Earth and Venus still - just confusing.

Aah, Ender's Game. You're referring to this structure, right? http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131104045634/ansible/images/2/29/1367589920.jpg Still, yes having them as living quarters does make sense to some degree. Just that spheres are ill-suited if you want to maximize useful volume inmo.Of course, wiring, air conditioning, support systems etc may be run in the volume that would be too low or small for humans to occupy.

Yes! That's true too...the shapes themselves do not seem to be ideal. But hey, the Death Star was spherical :) I am really curious as to whether or not there are some published notes on the art direction/reasoning behind some of these more granular areas. But it seems that the world itself is semi obsessed with spherical objects haha
