#SciFi The Martian Way by Isaac #Asimov has a large ice mass, I suppose more of a micro-moon than Ring particle, being collected and ferried back to Mars.
Haldeman's #WorldsApart has asteroids being shifted.
#TheMoonIsAHarshMistress has I think the first mass-driver and explores some of the consequences of being able to fling masses.Tangentially, #Niven explores a #SmokeRing around a (point) gravity source. From L1 I suppose dust would escape into a loose toroid around the Sun.

Reaching into the 80s “one hit wonder” file. With some meaning.

#WorldsApartTime we feel most stable
Is the time we're coming off the wall
And there's every indication
We may be heading for a fall
So let the problems start
And let the tension grow
We'll be keeping it to ourselves
And while they're busy reaching their conclusions
We'll be reaching for something else -

Lucy on the windowsill, her mama and Tux (her brother and possibly also dad, whelp) on the porch. They don't seem particularly interested in each other, probably for the better.

At first glance I thought Lemon and Lucy were both sitting on the windowsill, but it was big brother 😂

‘Worlds Apart’ Embraces Post-Apocalyptic Horror and Hope
Worlds Apart (1983) by Joe Haldeman pits humanity against itself. The worst aspects of itself. Despite this, though, Worlds Apart is a story of hope in the face of impossible obstacles. It is this slim thread of hope that makes Worlds Apart an interesting and compelling story.
Marianne O’Hara escaped just as the first missiles landed. Back on New New York she and the thousands of others watched in horror as the world tore itself apart. Then as the world, jealous of the orbiting habitats turned their missiles on them.
The bombs killed billions but what came next was worse. A virus is let loose that kills everyone over the age of twenty. And keeps on killing. The future of the human race looks bleak.
Up in New New, however, the last remnants of humanity’s technological society begin work on a plan. In fact, several plans. Each one in the hope that even on the brink of extinction they can save themselves, the earth, and the future they so foolishly squandered.
Worlds Apart takes the post-apocalyptic idea into some truly dark and twisted territory. Haldeman, with his usual style, takes strange ideas to their fullest potential. Even if where they lead are unsavory.
Beginning with the start of the war, Worlds Apart follows the events on New New York and on Earth in one year increments. With each segement the reader gets a glimpse into the struggles, personal, technical, and political, that the characters face.
Like all of Haldeman’s stories, Worlds Apart is about people. And Haldeman has a wonderful way with his characters. The main protagonist, Marianne O’Hara, is a great example. She is tough, compentent, and interesting, yet emotionally vulnerable and relatable. Even in the worst characters there is a spark that hints at depths unseen by the reader.
Haldeman has never shied away from exploring the worst aspects of what makes us human and Worlds Apart is no exception. Whether on New New or on Earth Haldeman creates situations and events that will undoubtly make many readers uncomfortable. Yet through any horror portrayed Haldeman keeps a firm grip on his thread of hope. Which is good since many readers might give up on the story.
Even in Worlds Apart‘s world building there is a logical reasoning behind some Haldeman’s choices. Given the survivalist aspect of the story it makes sense that some extremist ideals might gain a foothold. Thankfully Haldeman is able to make use of this without being absurd.
Joe HaldemanAs the story progresses Haldeman balances between events on Earth and on New New with ease. Neither thread supercedes the other. Haldeman builds and weaves them together in a web of support.
Where Worlds Apart is a bit jarring is between the first and second half of the story. The first half is done in third person perspective then Haldeman suddenly switches to first person. It makes me wonder if the two halves were written at widely different times. Regardless of the reason, Haldeman make it work overall.
For fans of post-apocalyptic stories Worlds Apart will be an interesting spin. The idea of a survivors in space working with suvivors on Earth may not be a familiar one but it is unique. Worlds Apart is difficult at times but ultimately rewarding.
