We have got to get ourselves some rings

That is, Earth has got to get itself a ring system. Why? Because from he ground, it would be stunningly beautiful, as this video shows:
Can you imagine what it would be like if Earth had had those rings throughout history? The entire history of astronomy would be different, as there would be no doubt that the earth was round. And beyond that, the effect on religion and mythology I can't even imagine.
So there's obviously only one thing we can do: move a largish asteroid, say the sized of Ceres into close orbit, and convert it into rings. We owe it to future generations.
