Drop the " The ". Its cold and redundant anyway.
Compounding the uncomfortable realization that social and religious prejudices have made their way on to Spes, a debate also arises around the simulacrum of Earth preserved in Spes’s interiors. Rose has long-term plans for eliminating the video landscape projections that fit like a holographic skin over living areas—projections of Florida, Colorado, Vermont—so that the next generation can grow up without “the pretenses of Earth scenery…just clean metal and ceramic.” He believes that the simulacra of forests, plains, and swamps projected to cover the bare metal and glass of the station’s interior are preventing Spes’s children from growing up immersed in a representation of a totally rational and scientific reality, without the sentiment of nature or culture. As he plans the next iteration of the colony on a new space station, Isaac envisions a ship with “no fake scenery, no props; the curves and angles of the structure exposed. The structural elements [that are] rationally beautiful in their necessity.”
