jeriendhalJust trying to stat out some things.
* * *
Circumference: 260,000 km.
Width: 5000 km.
Depth: 125 km. Habitat layer at 100 km
Surface Area: 1.3 billion sq. km. Approximately 50% of this is devoted to fresh water reservoirs/climate moderation system.
Mass: CLASSIFIED. Believed to be in excess of 8 x 10^24 kg.
* * *
Notes: My bugaboo currently is the mass of the thing. The Groupmind is going to build the thing solid, being a firm believer in cautious engineering principles. But the damned thing can't be too massive, or it's going to significantly effect the Earth's tides, which is going to really interfere with its goal of re-terraforming the Earth back to its pre-industrial status.
Gripping Hand, it's going to be set a fair ways out, and the tidal force is going to be evenly distributed, unlike the Moon's, which is dependent on the latter's current orbital position.
