Reply to comment by EarthSolar in Hypothetically Can us humans build an artificial planet? by prof_chaos7

We could probably take a couple of moons out of Saturn and smash them together.

But it would make more sense to just settle them, or deconstruct them and turn them into orbital structures.

Last I checked like 95% the mass of the moons of Saturn are within Titan. You’re not really getting any benefit slamming the smaller moons, aside from destroying their own wonders and create a slightly bigger moon that’s just about as useless and probably way more boring.

Well yeah, building a planet using resources in our solar system is kind of useless in the first place.
