So I painted myself up a couple small models of the inner-solar system's planets and hung them around my room in order of distance from the sun, represented by my lightbulb. I have Mercury, Venus, 2002VE, Earth, our moon, Mars, Phobos, Diemos, and the asteroids Vesta and Ceres.

Am I missing anything major in the inner solar system? I'd like to be thorough.
Also, our solar system thread

interesting stuff...I just figured I'd include anything big enough to roughly form a sphere, or anything orbiting a larger body like Venus' 'moon'. Care to narrow down to the biggest?
>>3030436
ten minutes of googling, that's all lol

>>	Inurdaes !V1sPhobos. Tue May 10 08:42:02 2011 No.3030463 >>3030454 Well you could count the pretty large asteroid of 1036 Ganymed... Other than that I think you've got it covered.

I started removing the less than 200Km diameter objects but pretty sure it's going to come down to a few in the asteroid belt with Pallas and Hygiea being the biggest.

You would need molecular mills/assemblers and lots of droids to construct a entire planetary sunshade which filters the majority of the solar radiation out. Collide comets from the Kuiper Belt in the two holes of the shield (polar holes) for water. Unless we have some way of speeding up Mercury's rotation without brute force, we could always have artificially created day and night, where the sunshade can stop all opacity on the sunside and then use some large successor of the marijuana grow light on the nightside. There'd definitely be enough solar power for that.

so we'd build a giant pair of sunglasses for Mercury? sound's like a filtering Dyson Sphere type thing. How would you support such a structure above the ground, in light of wind, gravity quakes and other unforseen disasters?
