Re: threshing floor

In Response To: Re: threshing floor (SonofMeaning)

: Halo as we know it is an artificial ring world that was built by an
: apparently "long dead race." if you look at halo the habitibal
: parts are on the interior of the ring and not the exterior. What if the
: forerunner built the metal parts around earth and let the plant life and
: water and sand spread to the ring and let it build itself. Its a little
: confusing but you might get it after awhlie. think of it as if halo is
: surrounding earth and the surfaces of earth and halo are only a few meters
: apart. wouldnt the vegetation spread from earth to halo?

If you are saying that Halo could have orbited a planet when it was built, maybe, but it would have to rotate very quickly to offset the planet's gravity if the ring orbited only a short distance from the surface. Also, the surface of planets like earth are not all that smooth, there are mountains and valleys so it would take a lot of engineering to keep the thing in a stable orbit without it colliding with the surface of the planet.

If Halo ever did orbit anything, I think it would have been something much smaller than an earth sized planet.

I think, as for the vegetation, it is easier to just plant the vegetation from seeds and soil samples.
