* NASA is currently monopolizing the space industry


NASA is currently looking into actuall mineing resources {iron oar and other stuff} from the moon. If you dont know, the moon occasonaly gets peppered with small meteriods, and they are made up of at-least 50%-80% iron or copper. Belive it or not, we have the technowlegy to do this. there is one small problem however. Money. No one wants to spent trillions on something that has the potentual to end in flames.

I belive we, as In Humanity, should combine our efforts, and start to find ways to colonize other planets. Again, theres the money problem.

Every thing now a days is all about money.

Okay, I just made four renderings in 3DS max, they are crude, but give a decent visualization the first 2 show the finished ringworld in orbit with the moon nearby. The third shows a basic service robot model 1 (which are the errand runners of our robots that perform basic operations). The fourth is a more detailed view of the robot. Much more detailed schematics and renderings ar eon the way.

For all the volunteers, I am laying out a set of phases:

Phase 1: Pre-production (our current phase)- designing, visualizing, rendering, schematics

Phase 2: Robot construction/programming- Construction and programming of Robot Prototype

Phase 3: Robot marketing- the marketing of our robots to get patents and money to fund our project and produce mass robots

Phase 4: Launch- Robots launch into space

Phase 5: Construction of space platform- Construction of space base and solar panels

Phase 6: Mining, early ringworld construction

Phase 7: Final construction/terraform process

Phase 8: colonization

Wait..Wait..Wait!! I thought you wanted to make the moon into a Halo, not have onr orbit it.

If it was possible, I would help. But you probably have more a chance of making all the guns from Halo2 (maybe with the militaries aid)

We practally already do. the guns are just designed differentyl. The BR55 fires a 9.5mm round. the military is experimenting with a gun called "FMX something-or-other" (i thint thats what its called) that fires the same round.
incase your wondering, I read it from a "Popular Mechanics" Magizeen.
Dont know if you watch the news but last month a gun company released a 50cal. hand gun. looks like a revolving shotgun. lol

okay i just finished the design of the basic mining robot

http://borealface.fortunecity.com/robot%20wireframe.jpg

This is a detailed schematic wireframe that took a few hours to make ensuring quality and accuracy

this is a rendered view of the finished mining robot

This has to be a joke, which is why I'm ashamed at myself for even typing here, but allow me to explain why this is ridiculous.

1. To remove enough materials to build such a structure would take thousands upon thousands of your hypothetical robots. Between the U.S., Japan, Russia, China, Brazil, the European Space Agency, etc. we only launch about 100 rockets per year, at a cost of $10,000 per ounce of weight. Let's assume that we can fit four of your robots on a standard payload rocket, and that through the miracles of science they only weight 1000 pounds. Then assume that we need (at a minimum!) 1000 robots, just to get the material off the moon in less than 100 years. Do the math. It costs millions to buy a rocket, millions to launch the rocket, you have to compete with telecom, military, and other organizations to buy rocket launch windows, etc.
2. Solar power will NOT sustain your cutely rendered, but completely hypothetical robots. It may work to fly one or two around but solar power will not provide the lift necessary to escape the moons gravity with a payload (despite having 1/10 Earth gravity). Thus, you will need fuel, which means refueling, which means more rockets.
3. These robots will not be able to operate solely with A.I.; it's too complex an operation. They need direction to the moon, direction on the moon, direction from the moon, direction as to where to dump their payloads, etc.
4. Where would they dump payloads? In a pile in orbit somewhere? Solar wind will cause dust and debris to float away from whereever the robot leaves its payload, as will the robot moving away, causing an unprecedented amount of space debris threatening existing satellites and the International Space Station.
5. Where will humans stay while manufacturing the halo itself, or will even more advanced robots do it?
6. How long will it take/how expensive will it be to lauch seeds and/or plants to the ring?
7. Will the halo have propulsion? If not, due to orbital mechanics, it will slowly drift back into the Earth's atmosphere, and that would be a huge mess. If it will have propulsion, will the ring be strong enough to support the massive amount of force necessary to move it?
8. Will moon stone have enough structural integrity to support the ridiculous amount of force placed on the halo as it spins to create artificial gravity? Or will stress points fracture the whole thing? I'm leaning towards the latter...
10. Do you have any idea how long it's been taking to complete the International Space Station, which is the size of a house, and how much money it has cost? Over a decade, and over a hundred billion, all told.
11. Bottom line, we don't have the technology. We don't have the need. It won't cost trillions... it will cost quadrillions, if not quintillions. This is a terrible idea, a stupid idea, and this forum needs to close.
12. Nice render work on the halo and your robot.

although it would be freaking awsome, its highly unlikely. we need to do something about our planet(the atmosphere) before we start making other inhabital planets or places. it would be a waist of time and money to make something like that and then -blam!- it up with polution.

Holy Crap. if you ever give up on this project, then get into the game industry. There are many jobs for people as talented as you in rendering. (Maybe try making Halo CE mods)

So what are we gonna do with no moon. what you are proposing is to destroy the moon and use the debris to build a monument to the best game ever

total waste

OMG
Master Chief w/o his Helmet!


Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

Where would you get the metal for this halo? FYI: it won't be on Earth!

I think Larry Niven's Ringworld gave lots of good theories on a ringworld. In the book the ringworld encircles an entire sun. A little bit bigger than 40 miles.

NO!!!! Don't make a Halo!

Eventually some dumbass is going to activate it!!!!!

if everyone in the world donated we would hav enough money i mean bill gates has fricken 2 billion dollars!

More like 60 billion. Even then, the logistics of it are just way too extreme, and getting a project like this off the ground would take years (morelikely decades) of work and planning. It's definitely not going to happen in my lifetime our yours, but I will give you props for having a a very good imagination.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

im gonna have to agree with skillet on this one. four words dude, what are you smoking. i mean seriously, WHY?!?!?!?! whats the point?, the money, youre going to spend a billion times more on building it than you would make in a lifetime. The Fame, you would probably kill thousands of people in the process or after its built. The whole idea will fail. Although, when this thing crashes back into the atmosphere and kills all of europe, at least you will make more living space for humanity by destroying a large number of them. lol. seriously dude ,, what. the heck.

One step ahead of you there ol' BorealFace. I've just completed the finishing touches to my ring. It's fitted with air-conditioning and is way bigger than yours. So why not come and enjoy your Easter Holidays at my ring. It'll be loads of fun. We can have an Easter egg hunt.
