Elon's Ring

Along with all of the X prizes he used to initiate innovation in recycling everything needed to keep a human alive. Elon gave us tens of thousands more to push us toward mastering the solar system and pushing on to the ones around us. The colleges he founded, the news that didn't depend on anything more than users voting on its reliability, the X-pedia, the X-tube, the X-files, and everyone's favorite open platform of all time, X-games. None of them matter compared to the tiny order for a minor planetoid being moved to the Laroche limit of Venus and left to circle to its death.

Astronomers cursed him for the additional light pollution but then someone recalled that Earth had gone into a full glaciation when we had a ring. The same thing would cool our sister planet enough to initiate terraforming on a massive scale. The body selected was made of a material that would break down into more water than any other volatile. The resulting drop in temperature was causing storms to rage across the planet and the colors of the hypercanes as they moved around the planet at thousands of miles per hour mesmerize. It would take hundreds of years for the atmosphere to complete its cooling and reduction but once done, the ring could be recycled and used for satellites or anything else needed.

His only request was that none of the cities that are ever built on Venus bear his name. Having the dozens on Mars is already too many.
