Yeah, that thing's the biggest. There's a website with various size comparisons of a lot of ships/stations, and that was at number one.

In a size comparison I doubt most other ships would even register
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: SF Debris: Playing God
In the Xeelee series of books by Stephen Baxter, the Xeelee construct a ring made of cosmic strings which is more than 10 million light years across. Their enemies tried to destroy it by throwing galaxies at it.

Sci-fi writers arms race.
Fine. I'll have a race build an entire universe out of Lego blocks.

Actually, now that I think of it, the Mantrid Complex in Lexx was obscenely large, and at the end of series 2 he

Re: SF Debris: Playing God
Does that count as a single structure though, or as a number of structures working together to create a wide area effect? I think it falls into the same category as the galactic shield from Matter.GrahamKennedy wrote:In the Xeelee series of books by Stephen Baxter, the Xeelee construct a ring made of cosmic strings which is more than 10 million light years across.

I read a fanfic once about a space race that was immortal, and as a hobby used to make galaxies by using gravity tugs to pull stuff around.

Somehow I'm unsurprised that adult Lego fans have to enter a contest in order to get a blow job.

Well it would be a 'professional' doing it.

Yes, and I want to make a comment about how her mouth is probably an absolute riot of venereal disease--the sort that eat antibiotic molecules like popcorn--but then I think back to some of the women I've gone home with and I'm forced into quietude.

I highly doubt that; the porn industry screens and tests bi-monthly. Your odds are much better (worse?) if you meet a girl somewhere.

Re: SF Debris: Playing God
Regardless, it appears to be a ripoff anyway. A giant lego structure that will cost a shit ton of money to buy let alone assemble just for a blowjob. That better be a read good one.
Now going from Dyson Sphere to legos and blowjobs.

Second biggest structure in science fiction would probably be Ringworld, from the Larry Niven novel.
