Here's an idea, anyone who has anything else crappy to say about this topic should either a. shut the hell up or b. post something we haven't already heard through pages one through four, my god, don't you people have anything original to say? Now, to the people who actually want this project to go anywhere, salvaging the raw minerals from meteorites hitting the moon won't throw the moon off it's course. Oh and another thing, if any of you idiots had actually taken the time to read the posts put up after the initial concept, the atmosphere will be contained with glass or some other kind of material that could hold up to the pressure of space. It's not going to be a natural self sustained atmosphere. Another thing, the rocks from the moon would be mostly for effect and protection, encasing the outers of the ring with the rocks would soften blows from other space debris hitting the ring. Oh, and there aren't any laws saying civilians can't build space stations and launch them into orbit, people don't have the money to put something into orbit.
but do you honestly think that world governments would let it happen? lets have a reality check here, the international space station (which is backed by both the US and Russia) is falling apart. In a few more years it will be uninhabitable and then burn up in earths atmosphere. Now if the richest country in the world cant afford to keep something as small as the international space station afloat then how can private enterprise possible hope to finance something on this scale? in addition can anyone here honestly see any country in the world getting behind this project? china? iran? australia? sweden? no country would back it, and you do need permission to send a craft through soverign airspace. The renders look great but unfortunatly thats as far as its going to get. sorry to burst anyones bubble.
exactly, no country is going to fund the billions apon trillions of dollars needed to make a freaking halo ring. news flash ITS A GAME. I highly doubt the UN would approve of something so...... fantasy-like.
And to the douche-bag who is saying "OMG LIEK READ TEH OTHER PAGES LOL!!!" sorry i don't really feel like reading the posts of people saying "omg i am in, i will help u all da way!!11!!" this is a magical place called a message board. i am sharing my -blam!- opinion so shut up.
