It is useless on earth due to it's material, size, and weight, but it could be a handy material for spacefaring projects as a good structure….is it if anyone can afford the $26.9 nonillion dollar price tag…let alone the different costs of everything else. This is for Futurenauts

If we built a Dyson sphere that captured 100% of the sun's energy, Earth would die from lack of sunlight, the solar wind would be effectively blocked, planetary orbits could be disrupted by the gravity of the massive new hollow planet, etc. We should not do that.
However, I would not be surprised if we over-exploited space mining, and shifted things enough so that Venus ripped right by us on it's way to be Jupiter's newest moon, swapping atmosphere as it went by and melting the faces off of a third of the planet.

Mercury- solar energy Venus- deuterium Earth – fix up our home, and mine moon for helium 3 and rare metals. Mars- mine for rare noble gasses. Asteroid belt- metals of all kinds. Jupiter and it's moons- organic chemicals and distant space water source. Farther than that wouldn't have much of a point.❤
