The scientists studying exoplanets surely have the capability to calculate all kinds of fantasy planet configurations that could occur naturally such that human made configurations, or machines could last billions of years. What would these natural configurations and positions of small bodies in space require, and so on. First figure out these ideal, fantastical, and mathematically possible positions, then starting with the easiest, strangest, and most compelling one. Pump clouds or steam up a 600 mile long slack space tube/balloon into space and collect them as ice bodies or anything that can be powered and melted together again in any shape to place in these near eternal machines powered by the wheel of the solar system, or planets and moons. So in short: find out what could easily exist naturally, but is amazing, and then make it. Because it wont require as much, or any technology to work.

"It's as if it just happened to be there."

(in the perfect spot and conditions for life to exist naturally)

The first planetoid I make will be a  situated in orbit at an advantageous junction in the Earths magnetic fields pattern. it can  shield radiation and is a good place to study the possible existence of portholes at the cross points of these waves. I wonder how solid structures would move around in the ice as they slowly slide on the thin layer of water between the ice cooled by the absolute zero and the heat made by the structures environment inside. I wonder if  optical quality ice can be made because it freezes so quickly, at the least it can be formed in an insulated container.  Different types of  ice with various materials dispersed throughout them to perform different functions.  Anything that can be blown up a vacuum cleaner  tube as well as steam can go to space for virtually free. One possibility is to make a giant messy collection of ice and surround it with a heater balloon to make a blob, freeze and melt away tunnels. Heatable conductive insulating spray on balloons, conductive particles in the ice, 3d printing, and then heating to make optical. The ice forming completely clear would be beautiful and functional with 30 foot thick walls you want as much light coming through as possible for the plants and for power. One design that would be so pop art would be the exact shape of one of those ice cubes in drinks at bars, or a collection of them as big as central park. Anyway the shape is not determined forever. It can always be melted and reshaped for function or to suit new aesthetics or needs.

Welp! it’s the middle of spring, and I still haven’t seen any plants from the thousands of seeds and clay/dirt “seedbombs” I threw all over the city. People really are thorough with their weeding. The over industriously ignorant people weeded out tomato, bean, onion, garlic, broccoli, spinach, watermelon, celery, cucumber, parsley, basil, squash, sunflower, beet, radish,  among other things. This proves the only way to do this is with toothpicks and labels. Hope it’s not too late. (the labels are sticker paper, plastic tabs are better for the rain.)

A casino where you are guaranteed not to lose is possible

I have a business idea. It's a money inflating service. The stock exchange is filled with computers these days. They compute algorithms at a rate of a million trades a second. This is destructive to the economy because the distribution of this unearned wealth is so arbitrary and concentrated among the usual suspects. These machines can guarantee a profit in the long run enough to allow a bank, e trading (at the time are all scams), or casino to take whatever amount of small money people could put in, pool it and invest it with algorithms to guarantee the inflation of ones money at a fluctuating rate but never loosing it. To make this fun, it could be in the form of a casino that you never loose in, just the rate in which you win varies, based on the market. The house would make ten percent of what you win or what ever is feasible. This is the kind of thing the "Occupy" bank should be doing. The most they can do for customers is "no fee checking"? My bank pays ME for my checking, and reimburses all possible ATM's This makes The whole Occupy debit card seem extremely suspect to me. What is it a charity for them? It's definitely not a revolutionary Utopian bank.

You know there is another habitable planet in our solar system. It's in the Goldilocks zone and everything. Venus. All it needs is a moon. With my extraplanetary ice collector Made from a tube with steam lifting and flowing up it that can collect a solid ball of ice big enough to put into a close orbit of Venus long enough to pull off atmosphere and eventually end up on the planets surface. There are so many ways to pull off its extra 800lb atmosphere. Larger ice, more ice balls, asteroids,  super fast close orbits, That's to figure out. Let's terraform it and make a, you guessed it.. Utopia.

who wants a business idea? A job placement agency that bases everything on tests anyone can take. Not experience. Guaranteed to give a company out of the box geniuses for their field.

People who are good at the things you want to do, naturally. Automatically. Everyone is really good at something, a test can find any of these things. The test only needs a few professionals to make each test out of the things they do every day by first recording a week (or much less) and analyzing it.

Plant fruit/nut/diverse/conifer trees in a dead Oak tree stump

Eventually we will have to replace all the oak trees covering the country with fruit and nut trees. I suggest that we make a tradition of putting fruit tree seeds in dead oak stumps every time we go to the forest. And in every dead tree stump you see. That's the natural way. No one can say that would be bad for animals. The oak trees are bad for animals and all life in the forest. The forests need to be seeded with all fruit and nut trees possible, pine, spruce, fir, birch, maple, trees as soon as possible. What a horrible thing they did clearing the land and planting nothing but oak. It's dead leaves destroyed paradise. Think about the mass of trees in a forest. Just imagine it being all fruit and nut trees. Cover some in geodesic domes and you have fruit all year with certain trees. Pine needles make a clean soft ground, natural cedar wood is bright purple/magenta. They had a chance to do that after the 99% deforestation that happened in the nineteenth century. Did it occur to anyone, did anyone even try? anyone but Johnny Appleseed? Oak was basically steel before steel was mass produced. A building material.

dubmadness said: In California the native Oaks support more species than any other tree. They are however an increasingly isolated genus, with the native plant and animal families whose association w/ oaks has developed over millennia now decimated by development.

That's why I say bring back exponentially more species with fruit nut , and diverse species of trees. I don't know about California but east coast oaks forests are mostly dead except for insects a few turkey, deer, squirrel. They support the species there just barely. Those same species would benefit from more diversity of trees. Just because the animals are forced to live in oak doesn't mean it's ideal. I am so sure the forests the settlers found was diverse and alive everywhere not just dead oak leaves everywhere for thousands of miles.

dubmadness said: Different kind of oak out here, whose associations are highly symbiotic, not a recently forced dependence. But I do agree that diversity is absolutely crucial, and w/o it, even the oak which act now as the ‘bones’ of the landscape will succumb.

Space junk is no problem for my inverted ice plantetoid made from  evaporated sea water up a  tubular  hot air  balloon 600 miles long made of  graphene ending in heated sections. Or made of recycled bags to the point where graphene and Kevlar like things are necessary. The ice planet with many dwellings inside and Gardens and parks inside will have no problem when and if space junk is flying by and gets embedded into the 10 to 100 foot thick walls of ice. Also If enough orbital; dwellings are created there will be no sea level rise, and without spraying toxic chemicals into the air like sulfuric acid. Millions of people are working on rocket propulsion to space. One of you guys could spare the time to study this a little. Much less competition. This could be your niche. The planets were not created and held together by some complicated, manufactured, high tech device. Neither do our mini planets have to - spaceships.
