but you would need to make all this in space

Yeh I mean, I wouldn't expect it to be trumps next project. I dont really know how to explain it other than a halo ring spinning around a planet

save the propelent costs

you would need off planet mining and prossesing factories

you cant just make shit magically in space lul

Well for sure. Lest we recall all automobiles in the world, even then..

wut do you think the number 1 thing a processing thing needs

even for just processing other stuff in space

as i said you would need to mine shit in space and prosses it in space

its oxygen

oxygen

for fire

so you can melt shit

i dun think youre gonna get very far with just electric heating

likewise

you cnt process what isnt in space already

every thing you need is out there in space

just find it

you might find a couple of metals on asteroids

but youre not gonna be making the high tech alloys and stuff you need for megastructures outta those

science needs to git gud with converting elements into other elements

likewise youll need all sorts of non metallic compounds

but at that point we could have some new tech that can do shit we would call magic

in small amounts with tight controls they can turn lead into gold in the lab

thats called alchemy and i herd that costs an arm and a leg

forgetting all the radioactive lead they make

lul

It's not exactly viable right now

lol

Guess I'll give up on space and just have to start working on my "Black Tarzan" film instead

but its all fringe science atm so yeah

lol wut

Animal crossing new DLC, communists moving in your town

you know

for the energy it would take

to move shit around

every fucking day

you could just fill that entire belt

with panels

lol
