Capturing Rogue Worlds? Anonymous Wed Jul 17 16:05:37 2019 No.10815222 [Reply] [Original]

In the far future, if we wanted to capture a rogue planet, or even a small star, how would we do it?

Well if it's a rogue planet you've got to consider that it's traveling at stellar escape velocity, so you're going to need to bleed that off so it can get captured by the sun.
So use mass drivers to slingshot enough stuff to slow it down enough to fall into a meta-stable orbit.
You'd also have to get lucky that the rogue planet was even traveling in the general neighborhood of the star system. Space is big, and its easier to miss everything then it is to hit something.
Really, you might want to not bother catching it at all, and just intercept it. It would be like a massive interstellar space ship.
If it was a big enough terrestrial world it might even still be warm enough at the core that geothermal vents could keep pockets on the surface from being frozen solid.

Use the Jovian moon to reduce speed over multiple orbits, and take an occasional grazing path along the very upper Jovian atmosphere to reduce speed further.

Once you have it in controlled Jovian orbit, attach a giant solar sail and reduce speed in front of Mars then Earth/Moon. It will be a long journey but not millions of years.

It is relatively little radiation, once they all go off and speed is adjusted for, the energy will wane and within the time it gets to you, the rads will have worn off. You can set up with robots and then allow it to establish itself somewhere in the galaxy.

Create a group of black holes to move away from the object at different sizes and distances as to not destroy the objects with the gravitational pulls. It's like spawning a wall of gravity and have computer models simulate the most optimal size and distance to prevent your shit from hitting the fan. Black holes are eco friendly and despawn on their own. Another option would be why even keep the object as a sphere when we could just turn it into an accretion disk around a black hole to harvest it later?
