Use a filter system that can screen out excess pollutants and convert carbon dioxide to oxygen.
Keep plenty of plants and trees in the living areas and farming areas of your rings.

The exterior of the ship will be layered with a mirror that will reflect all light and radiation out to space.
All astronauts will have their DNA re-engineered so that their cells are immune to radiation.
All areas will have a layer of plastic in all the walls. The plastic will absorb that excess radiation.

There will be external cameras and sensors all over the ship so that crew members can monitor space to avoid incoming objects.
Crew members in space suits will position themselves in various places and use baseball bats to hit them away.
Each section will be air tight with doors that can seal so that if a meteor damages one section, the others will maintain pressure.
Each section of the ship will have pressurized space suits handy so that astronauts can quickly put them on in case of an emergency.

ENGINEERS: Where will the power systems and engines be placed on your ship?
Engines will be in the front of the ship under the hood, just like my dad's car.
Engines will be placed on the main ship.

MISSION DIRECTORS: How will you maintain order on board your ship for such a long period of time? Select all good answers.
A set of laws will be in place and each astronaut will be taught them and sign a contract saying they will obey those laws.
