Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"
Reading a couple of these, I think I've come up with an adequate solution.
The first step is to catch an asteroid and place it in geosynchronus orbit. Then, building a tether to a floating platform in the Pacific of high-tensile nanocarbon threads, we build some sort of space elevator.
From this point, the "selectees" are ferried to the moon. On the satellite, a large-scale coil gun is erected, as well as a solar array to power the device. This has several advantages. Considerably less power is needed, as the moon has one sixth of the gravity of Earth, and with no atmosphere, there is virtually no air resistance to overcome. The cold of space also aids in cooling, allowing for a greater rate of fire.
Ferrite ore mined from the lunar surface is smelted and cast into pods capable of fitting at least one person. After personal belongings (money/gold/valuables, especially, to help cover costs of the ambitious project) are confiscated, they are loaded into the chamber, given a bottle of water and some chinese food from step 4 (to prolong experience on both ends), and the pod is sealed.
A pneumatic ram loads the projectile, the capaciter farm is charged, and the MAC is fired with a trajectory towards the sun.
Eventually, this process can be automated for efficiency, although we'd likely run out of enemies by then. With a lot of cooperation and hard work, we can do this...together!
