The phrase, "The endless curve" is taken from the seminal cyberpunk novel 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson: "Case followed the direction of her gesture and saw the curve of planing lakes, the white glint of casinos, turquoise rectangles of a thousand pools, the bodies of bathers, tiny bronze hieroglyphs, all held in serene approximation of gravity against the endless curve of Freeside’s hull."
Freeside is a large space habitat in the story, of a kind often encountered in science fiction and much speculated upon by writers and space scientists, known as a spindle Bernal sphere (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernal_sphere ) The accompanying image is from a NASA archive on space habitats from 1970 and shows an 'endless curve' not quite like that described for Freeside, but rather for a ring-like station. I just liked the quirky old science art!
