It would be a huge project, taking centuries, with kind of limited returns. I would be probably not opposed to it if someone were to start such a thing, but I think orbital habitats are the better place for humans to settle in space.
You mean, like this?
That and O’Neill cylinders
Isn’t there some dynamics problem with cylinders in terms of the physics? Can not remember what is was. Maybe stability.
Maybe, I haven’t given them much thought. It’s further away than starting Mars would be. It would take much longer but we could start terraforming sooner than build an O’Neill cylinder
