Moon ring
Ultra Ultra low orbit (mind your head, please) | |
After the metallic ring was constructed around the moon, the gradual process of acceleration was started.
The surface of the ring quietly passed by, until no discernable feature could be seen. And yet, it was still accelerating.
At 1680m/s the magnetic bearings were discarded and the ring seemingly
hovered a few meters above the surface.
No sound could be heard, and no vibration could be felt, but anyone who observed it could sense the enormous power contained in it's momentum.
After countless generations, they wondered: What was it for, and what did it do? No one knew, but they were mesmerised all the same.

Who levelled the surface of the moon before they constructed the ring or was the ring made from the ore excavated to level the moon? |

Who wondered? The moon people? Surely this would make more sense on earth. Unfortunately the highest point on the equator is 4,600m high, so the ring would have to be wide enough to be visible from 5km. |

They're not as innocent as you say they are. |

The moon people, after countless generations of combating the tidal effects on the ring, were totally dismayed by the fact that, many eons ago, a larger construction had been built on the Earth for transportation. The Zero Gravity Monorail had been commissioned 3 years prior by Saint Fre-eth.
Quite how they had missed that information, was unbelievable.
Many scribes had warned them to search for the meaning of the moon ring's existence, but were rebuked by the believers, who insisted that this was such a novel idea, no other being could possibly have thought of it before.
How wrong they were. |

If it were on Earth, people would put friction driven generators up against it to power their radios. Then they would dance. On the moon, there are only two stations and everyone is sick of them anyway. |

I'll give it a + if you promise there will be a little restaurant out on the edge of the ring... with really comfy couches ... and good margaritas. |

It occurs the me that pretreatment of the toilet seat using Liquid Paper might accomplish similar results. |
