Of course we can. We could build a giant rotating shielded space station. We have all the technology, we just haven't done it because it's expensive.

I studied theoretical astrophysics as part of an earth and space exploration field.

Trust me, we really don't just have all the technology. That doesn't answer a lot of problems and you are assuming our level of science.

We might be able to figure out a good chunk of it if money is of no cost but that's no guarantee.

Man not even to talk about material cost. It would take us decades.

Yeah I am not inspired to actually bother answering that if you are coming into this without an expectation of an actual conversation.

It sounds more like you want a fight and that's not what I'm doing.

Space is not an easy answer. Even if you just want it to be.

I don't really like "trust me bro" takes on things.

Yeah and you are doing the same. I pulled my credentials you just don't want to be wrong cause it hurts your feelings.

I'm asking for examples of how it won't work. I've given examples of how I believe it would work.
