Yes! It says the rings would have caused a cooling effect. Vindication that my mad science plan of giving the Earth an artificial ring system to combat climate change is viable!
- sliken 2y agoSo how many years of cooling does blowing up the moon give us?
- GenerocUsername 2y agoThe moon is pretty reflective... If the rings were oriented just right it might actually mirror lots of light that would have missed earth and bounce it down to ground. Possible it would heat the earth.
- jherico 2y agoMy suggestion is not to blow up the moon, but to launch payloads from earth via nuclear pulse propulsion containing extremely low albedo material, like coal dust, and create an artificial ring that way.
