Subject: People, Lets build our own halo.

Okay Okay, i know what your saying, that sounds crazy, but if we put our minds to it, we can do it. I am 100% serious and I know this can be achieved. Heres how it ill work: Everyone who wants to volunteer will say so here. When we are ready, we will build a bunch of remote controlled rocket powered robots who will fly to the moon and mine rocks. The rocks will be flown into orbit around the Earth where they will be smelted and assembled into a ring shape approximatly 40 miles in diameter. This is feesible.
The ring will itnitially be hollowed out and people will live in it while the colonists use plants to develop an atmosphere. It will be the perfect utopia and garden of eden. We will make lots of money by charging people to live on it. There will be vacation resorts, casinos, oceans, etc. Best of all, if there ever is a nuclear war or cotastrophe, humans can retreat to the ring.
Here is the science: The ring will be forty miles in diameter and two miles wide, one thousand feet thick. We will program robots to build the ring in space for us (or we can remote control the machines). Suprisingly, the only problem with my plan is how will the Robots be powered? They will be solar powered. Instead of having solar panels on each robot, there will be a gigantic solar panel stationed near the site. When the mining/building robots are low on feul, they will return to the station and charge themselves from a gigantic battery.
We will go down in history, so if you don't volunteer you may regret this for the rest of your life. Join up now, for project ringworld!

Memories FTW!

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

Haha. I remember that thread. It lived on for almost a year. I still have it saved. So many memories from back then. The best part was that everyone wanted to help Boreal Face, and they thought it was possible. Good times, good times.

The original.

Hmm, you're right. It IS feasible now that I think about it. I have some rocks laying around that we could use, somewhere...

Anyway, count me in!

One problem, how are you be able to keep the atmosphere in with the ring world? Earth has a core with iron to produce magnetism that holds in our air. How we going to keep air in a Halo ring with out any place for a iron core? I belive that with enough time and with masses resorces we could be able to make a Halo. But the air problem is the only thing not pratical yet.

Controlling fission events without incident since May, 2012.

I'm guessing this is the wrong forum, and not trying to crush your hopes and dreams or anything, but just building Mount Rushmore took the government about a billion dollars and over 25 years.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Yay!
