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
but its all fringe science atm so yeah
lol wut
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
mars is also farther than earth
put the panels in SPACE with a long cable going down
molecular assembly will get around a great many problems
@mermerwapadapi hadn't thought of it like that
and theres gonna be a huge drop off in solar panel effectiveness
and is possible
@Inkogni thats retarded lol
yeah but im banking that the energy it takes to maintain the consistent spin is less than the energy gained
the cable would break
