At first yes, I thought you were joking. But I guess not. I shall quell my flame and speak in a reasonable manner. Ahem. This is an interesting idea. It would be, theoreticaly, possible. I have a few concerns however. If this was to be done, where would you get the money and materials for the robots? And if this was done, do you realise that you would be long dead by the time it was built and the atmosphere delevoped? We all would, our children would have to finish. And thier children maybe. Also, damaging the moon might affect the earth. To build the ring in space...wait...about the ring. If you were to do this just to be a Halo, you will never do this. If you do this to be what it could be, a haven away from earth, then building it ring-shaped would be illogical. It would be better to build it as a platform or something, that would be easier anyway. Oh yeah, if it was to be built in space, that would be very expensive. Everyone on the Bungie forums devoting thier live to this project would be unable to lift the materials needed to mine to the moon. You would need help from world leaders for this project. After typing all this, I feel rather stupid. I still really think you're joking.
edit---after thinking about it, it would take more generations of builders then that to finish the atmosphere... and about a website, it would just end up on the cover of the National Inquirer or whatever that loopy magazines called.
