I grew up watching a Japanese cartoon called "Mobile Suit Gundam." With explosions and gigantic robots with lasers fighting each other it was fun to watch, and it still is today. The background of the story involved humanity's migration to space due to overcrowding. Eventually someone said something stupid and a war began. Anyway these space humanoids lived in cylindrical space colonies that produced its own artificial gravity. These tubes where self sufficient and massive. From what I read on Wikipedia this concept is based on a more realistic yet fictional idea called the O'Neill Cylinder or the more catchy Island Three habitat.
O, and yes these things had lasers too.
