Yes, we can make rings! We have been doing so for the last 50 years! It's called the GEO band and you can see it with binoculars if you know where to look.

It will probably take a few hundred millennia to construct though, don't hold your breath.

/sci/ I'm curious how long it might take for a geostationary satellite to completely come out of orbit, there is not a lot of literature on this and tidal forces don't really seem to matter to anything that far out. I'm also curious what a satellite falling to earth would look like. Would it have a tail like a large meteorite? Would it be recognizable after impact?

The ISS experiences 0.93g from Earth. It may as well be on the ground as far as a trip to the Moon is concerned.

Nobody cares about cosmic rays except for concern trolls. You can keep people alive with a little bit of insulation with an insignificant cancer risk.
