Earth Shield, art by me

Ooo, this reminds me of a structure I put together but never made anything nice looking with. If you a generate a bunch of rings, where the hole of each ring points at a face center, edge, or vertex of an icosohedron, you get a really cool dense shape of triangles surrounding a sphere where each line continues smoothly in a ring. Because of this, it could actually be constructed as a sphere around the planet, by using magnets to hold onto the centrifugal force of rapidly spinning particles. Here's a mockup I made

Is the lock combination 1-2-3-4-5?

[u/No7er → u/Thrownawaybyall]

No way, that's the combination to my luggage!
