I'm attempting to be a writer.
I've written a screenplay and am in the process of writing the follow up novel. It's set in the future and part of the world that I've created is Atlantis.
Atlantis is a ringworld of emense proportions. It encircles the sun half way between the Earth and Mars and is made of a number of fifteen kilometer diameter spaceport spheres linked together by habitat drums. These spheres are a hundred thousand kilometers apart. The whole is encapsulated in a granule/solid layered skin. The drums roll on tiny linear motors that hold the inner drums away from the main structure by ten millimeters. The drums are five kilometer inner dia. and six outer before we encounter the five hundred meter thick skin.
From Sun side to outer of each space port is a linear canon. The entire Sun side of the station is solar panel. The structure was completed in the year twenty three-ninety two and was made from the material found in the asteroid belt with a few shaving from Calisto thrown in. The technology that made all this possible was the largest construction robot ever built which had seventy per cent of it's make up being nanotechnology.
I need to make this real and to do so I need to have people do the math.
Getting from point A to B in space should cost nothing in fuel if you're using linear canons attached to your start and finish point. The technology is around today, it just needs to be put to good use.
Anybody wanna try and help design the future
