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!

P.S> i am making 3D renderings of the robots and Halo and space station in 3ds max, i will post them here when done. We also need a person capable of making a website for our project!

The idea itself would be fun

But, it is a lot of work. Even if you had most of the people on the bungie forums alone, you probably wouldn't be able to build the robots so they are all programmed the same. Try putting up the prototype and stuff, and you might get more people.

Ok...dude....the level to which you are taking this 'halo' is just scary.

Ok, you go do that. Here's a $1 to support the cause.

If i help can i get a robot can mine look like a hot dog with chicken legs :)

That would be a waste of so much metal to build a Halo, and the fact theres no chance we could build an environment, I mean, look at Earth now. That would be a sweet idea though.

  • 04.13.2006 5:26 PM PDT

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

As extremely likely as it is that you ould build one in this time, what about money. That $1 the guy just gave you isnt going to get you very far, but if you did get the money then yeah I would volenteer.

okay, the environment is simply enclosed in a glass casing... easy enough, as the solar panels can super heat sillica (a common moon element), to make the glass. The plants do the rest, we just have to burn alot of stuff to create the carbon dioxide. As for the metal, most of it is made from rock. Lastly, the only money we need is to make the robots, and it is actually quite cheap

What about space debre.

a spacial depth analyzer will be equipped into the robots (virtual eyes) and they can avoid debris, and debris isn't much of an issue, space in almost entirely devoid of debris... it's space. if anything big enough to damage our operations does come along, our robots can simply move it.

... Okay, so what's the point? There... there is no point? Okay.

Anyway, if the ring was only 40 miles wide, it would suck. It's small, a waste of monah, and it wouldn't even work properly (something would have to be really big to hold it's own atmosphere).

So blah.

40 miles is huge, it would be the biggest engineering achievement in the history of mankind. The world trade centers were just over 1000 feet, this ring is 1000 feet high two miles wide, and 40 miles in diameter. And it doesen't have to be really big to hold its atmoshpere... no matter how big a ring is it wouldnt hold its own atmosphere, theres not enough gravity, thats why it is enclosed in glass.

Okay, I have some renderings completed portraying the finished ringworld in orbit and one of the robot surveyers. this will help clear some things up. Does anyone know of a free webhosting service to post them on that can hold more traffic then aa geocities account?

do you have the trillions of USD we would need?

Okay now before I rant I apologize now if im harsh and close minded here but I deal with a crazy stalker kid at school who rants about taking over the world and doing -blam!- like this.
That said here I go.....

Reasons this won't work.....

1. You will not live long enough to acheive this
2. You'll never get the money, resources, or followers required to attempt
3. Your idea could Mess up gravitational pulls or some other slight error that cascades into the destruction of earth just so you could create a damn halo from a "video game"
4. If you want to do something smart/useful why not try to cure cancer or end world hunger.(hell maybe terraforming planits is better and more likely)

I just dont get people like this ... they want followers/helpers to do something that is completly useless.

They waste there time and ours with these useless ideas that THEY WILL NEVER EVER ACHEIVE!

I mean at least the one kid claming halo 2 exsists had some evidence that supported some of the crazy stuff he went on about.

FINALALY
This is mostly me ranting about the crazy kid I know but still please don't start recruting people to help you do something as intelecauly demanding as that from a VIDEO GAME FORUM SITE!

(I appologize for...)
-misspellings and such, not the best typer or speller
-my ranting, I dont mean to harm ppl's feelings
-being your daddy! $%#*@! I mean ....oh #$%*@

I hate to burst your bubble, but if you are talking about a REAL Halo, consider:
* NASA is currently monopolizing the space industry
* They can't even agree on launching some sattelites. How the hell are they going to agree to laucnhing a project of this magnitude
* Thereis no robot, AI or human-controlled with the capacity for performing the functions you suggest
* Even if there was, how would you turn moon rocks into a ringworld? Moonrocks = Earth rocks (more or less)
* The temperatures required to smelt and shape the ring are huge
* The effort of creating and susstaining them in vaccum, even bigger
* If every nation on earth put its money together, you still wouldn't have enough to build Halo
* If you build it, How will you get it to have a life-sustaining atmosphere?
* If you somehow manage life, how will you position the ring so it does not crash into earth? Also, it would have to be quite thinck, or the gravitationla forces would rip it apart like so much tissue paper
* How would you make it generate a magnetic field capable of protecting it from solar radiaton
* the list can go on forever, so one final point:
* taking that much out of the moon so you can build halo would lower its mass and size considerably. It drift away, earth will lose its tides, and life on it would be -blam!- as it depends on tides more than you can imagine.

All that said, if you could get it to work, that would be great.

I appreciate your response, these are all points ive considerd. Anything i dont answer here will be answered later, but here is some stuff to clear things up: As far as the radiation and atmosphere, the thick glass vacume will take care of that, complete with paneling to filter harmful rays. The mass taken away from the moon is not signifigant even with a 40 mile diameter ringworld that one mile thick (i figure we should make it one mile to be safe due to the tremendous forces at work) it works out to 1256 cubic miles of material out of a body that is 2.1968x10^10 km^3. The robots will only cost money to produce, once produced, they will self sustain. All energy will be gathered from the sun, so no money is needed there. I understand that money and the technology behined the robots is the biggest obstacle, but with enough genius on our side, we can come up with a working prototype, and since the robots themselves will be a huge technological breakthrough (single handedly ushering in a new world era of robotic super machines) companies will buy them for billions (maybe trillions) and we can easily fund our project then. I am working on 3d schematics and animations of the robot prototype. the ring world model is complete and will be posted on the net tomorow.
