Materials for a Dyson sphere?

ntxspace.bsky.social•48 days ago

Among other things, yes!

We don't need to be mining anything

ntxspace.bsky.social•50 days ago

Why’s that?

armyveteran.bsky.social•50 days ago

We explore for science

ntxspace.bsky.social•50 days ago

I agree, however scientific discovery isn’t always possible without cost

So, define mining so I'm totally understanding you.

I think the overall idea I’m getting at is we mine resources on the planet and use them to build things such as research stations and maybe even a Dyson swarm. It takes a lot of delta v to get to Mercury so using the material already there is ideal.
