Thank God we do not have a ring system. It would be very difficult to have communication satellites if there were. It's hard enough with the man made debris. That said, nice post.

I'm thinking that the rocks in the ring should be pretty stable. Couldn't you park stuff in a stationary orbit among some big cluster?

We had one once when the moon was forming, didn't we?
Some bits and bobs
The Galileo Fallacy,
'Argumentum ad Galileus':
"They laughed at Galileo. They're laughing at me. Therefore I am the next Galileo."
Nope. Galileo was right for the simpler reason that he was right.

The Star Treks I have seen have had very unstable rings. When you have Star Trek, why turn to science?
Actually Saturn's rings are very perturbed because of its moons. The rings seem to be laced together. Our moon may have a similar effect.

Cool. I also enjoyed the Floating Gardens.
They just issued a tornado warning and said to stay away from windows. Does that mean I can't use my computer?
