this might sound like a dumb question but i have always wondered why if you vacuumed out an appropriately light and rugged material why doesn't it float?
if you put He or H into that same space it would float.
seems like nothing would be lighter than a space filled with HE or H, and the structure would hold the vacuum so it could displace air and float just like a helium balloon
I'd ask where you acquired this information and am tempted to pursue this line of inquiry into the hidden nature of Luna as a sun shield... but don't know where to start!
Earth and Moon Once Shared a Magnetic Shield, Protecting Their Atmospheres
Four-and-a-half billion years ago, Earth’s surface was a menacing, hot mess. Long before the emergence of life, temperatures were scorching, and the air was toxic. Plus, as a mere toddler, the Sun bombarded our planet with violent outbursts of radiation called flares and coronal mass ejections. Streams of charged particles called the solar wind threatened our atmosphere. Our planet was, in short, uninhabitable.
But a neighboring shield may have helped our planet retain its atmosphere and eventually go on to develop life and habitable conditions. That shield was the Moon, says a NASA-led study in the journal Science Advances.
