I was having a bunch of questions about belts rewashing SW, so here they come to get the thread going:
>How often do Asteroids collide in dense belts?
>In general, do they ever look as dense as they are often depicted?
I was wondering because it would basically be kessler effect just in nature.
>Or do rings exist for such long times, that movements normalize and micro gravity basically pulls all the dust together,
>except if you were to introduce foreign objects
>and I mean how often does that happen?
>Are there lifecycles with belts?
>And how will they change in stability, once we harvest them?
>Are inside belt asteroid bases even feasible?

Will they be as cool to fly and fight through as they look in media? Or maybe even cooler in ways we didn't explore yet?
