I was thinking about the whole plan to manufacture a sun shade and put it out there in space at L1 to shade the earth. But rockets, polution, and stuff. Instead lets make liquid crystals on the moon from regolith materials. We can maglev it out to L1 where an electric field would be applied to create a polarized sunshade.
Then I thought, what if we use the liquid crystals to provide radiation shielding for lunar and martian colonies as well as to create a liquid crystal radiation shield around a spacecraft travelling between earth and mars?
